It's Not About Managing Change

 
  • A story of failed change: The company faces all the competitive, technological and global forces we all face. It wants to grow. It tries to leap forward. It fails.But why?
  • A story of successful change: A second company is facing the same scenario. It tries to leap forward and succeeds brilliantly. Why?
  • The 8 steps to success. What we have learned about successful change from extensive research over the past decade.
  • The relationship of the 8 steps to management and to leadership.Management and leadership are different. The distinction is enormously important in a world that is too often over managed and under led.
  • Why? it's all about leading change.Ask: What of the activity in the 8 steps is related to management? What is related to leadership? The implications are profound.
  • Why do we so often get it wrong?
