Conquer the most daunting change initiative with the right people, tools, and strategies.
James Dallas' Mastering the Challenges of Leading Change
is an informative, insightful guide to effectively leading the
transition through change. While most change management books present
case studies about what happened at other companies, this book is based
on the author's own experiences managing over 10 transformational and
turnaround initiatives, 15 acquisition integrations, and 5
operations/quality shared services centers of excellence. By relating
personal lessons learned, how they were subsequently applied, and how
you can benefit from them, this book provides a unique first-hand
perspective on successful agents of change. You'll learn the qualities
and skills required to usher in the new paradigm, and how to break a
large initiative into manageable chunks that are more likely to proceed
as planned. By crafting your strategy based on proven methods, you're
far and away more likely to meet or even exceed your change objectives.
The
majority of change initiatives fail because people mistakenly think
that a change agent is the same as a project leader. They're not. This
book shows you why, and how get the tools, strategies, and people you
need at the helm of your initiative to come out the other side much
stronger as an organization.
