Powering Change: The Hidden Resource to Unleash Potential, Productivity, and Profits

by Tabitha A. Scott

Change management is a myth. What worked for leaders in the past can't guide us into the future, and adapting at today's rapid pace of change can't be achieved with traditional business methods. Just "going faster" is no longer enough.

What if you had the secret to unleashing greater potential, productivity, and profits that flow with change instead of chasing it?

Drawing upon over 20 years of groundbreaking innovation and research, Tabitha A. Scott reveals the competitive edge already flowing within your organization and how to tap into its hidden current to propel your business to new heights. Blending lessons from physics, bioscience, and nature with intriguing organizational research, engaging business case studies, and current statistics, "Powering Change" reveals how to:

- Boost productivity and profits in the face of unrelenting change using the laws of science
- Discover the hidden potential in resources you already have
- Assess, align, and adapt talent to what energizes them most through the Human Dynamics Framework
- Transform tired team members into connected, directed, and empowered contributors

"Powering Change" provides a new lens that will forever transform the way you look at engagement, resource optimization, innovation, and strategy.

Powering Change challenges the usual change management approaches that are trotted out. It's a fantastic read and well worth your time. Not only does the very talented Scott describe the issues that are grounded in scientific research but she provide a range of core actions that leaders can follow.

A game-changer for finding flow and enabling change at work: Feeling stuck in my career, Tabitha Scott's "Powering Change" was a game-changer for me. Her insights revealed that I was wasting precious energy fighting upstream rather than flowing with the current of reality. By working with my natural energy rhythms and understanding organizational and team lifecycles, I’ve been able to create desired change more quickly and pleasantly.
