Leading Change

by John P. Kotter

Recommended by Rael Winters, Professional Services Director

In this book, Dr. Kotter offers a practical approach to an organised means of leading, not managing, change. He presents an eight-stage process of change with useful examples that show how to go about implementing it. Based on experience with numerous companies, his sound advice gets directly at the reasons why organisations fail to change – reasons that concern primarily the leader.
