Verandermanie: Waarom continue verandering gevaarlijk is en stabiliteit leidt tot succes
Eén van de financial times best business books of 2024 Verandering lijkt in veel bedrijven een doel op zich fusies, reorganisaties, nieuwe processen, it-oplossingen managers grijpen ernaar alsof het wondermiddelen zijn voor elk probleem. Maar volgens leiderschapsdeskundige Ashley Goodall werkt dit vaak averechts. De obsessie met verandering zorgt niet voor vooruitgang, maar voor chaos, onzekerheid en onrust. Terwijl echte verbetering begint bij stabiliteit. Gebaseerd op jarenlange ervaring bij Deloitte en Cisco, laat Goodall zien hoe je werkelijke verbetering bereikt door stabiliteit te creëren. Kies voor teamcohesie in plaats van willekeurige reorganisaties, voor duidelijke taal in plaats van corporate jargon, en voor gedeelde rituelen boven opgelegde teambuilding. Voor medewerkers is het zowel hilarisch als herkenbaar om te lezen hoe vaak managers de plank misslaan. Met concrete voorbeelden en inspirerende, humorvolle inzichten biedt Goodall een revolutionaire aanpak voor leiders die duurzame groei en topprestaties willen bereiken zonder hun medewerkers uit balans te brengen.

About the author
Ashley Goodall
9 books20 followersI’m an executive, leadership expert, and author, and have spent my career exploring large organizations from the inside. I look for the lessons from the real world that help people and teams thrive, and that make work a more human place for all of the humans in it.
I’m the co-author, with Marcus Buckingham, of Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World (Harvard Business Review Press, April 2019), and of two cover stories in the Harvard Business Review: The Feedback Fallacy, (March/April 2019), and Reinventing Performance Management, (April 2015).
My first experiences of teams and leadership were as a student musician and conductor. I was fascinated by the unspoken understanding between people playing together and carried this fascination into the corporate world. I currently serve as the Senior Vice President of Leadership and Team Intelligence (LTI) at Cisco, an organization focused entirely on serving teams and team leaders.
I live in Montclair, NJ with my wife and son. Music has been inside me for as long as I can remember. I revel in the rhythms of words, songs, and human interactions. I look for humor in everyday situations. I love what makes people weird.

Auteur constateert (terecht) dat er in organisaties te veel veranderingen plaatsvinden om het veranderen, geïnitieerd door het management. Dit boek is een pleidooi slechts te veranderen als de werkvloer aangeeft als dat bijdraagt.
