Muudatuste keskmes

by John P. Kotter, Dan S. Cohen, Mall Laur (Translator)

Käesolevas raamatus süüvivad Kotter ja tema kaasautor Dan Cohen etteantud teemasse põhjalikumalt, andes ülevaate sellest, kuidas muudatust tegelikult ellu viia. Kasutades ülemaailmse uuringu käigus kogutud tõsielulisi lugusid, lahkavad autorid peamisi probleeme, mis seisavad iga suurema muudatuse ees: kuidas anda muudatuse sõnum edasi nii, et inimesed sellest aru saaksid ja et see muudaks nende käitumist?

I'm not one for business management or related readings, but we had to read this for class and I thought it was very accessible. It's somewhat formulaic, which is understandable given that it's a companion for Kotter and Cohen's other books, but I liked the way the information was broken out for clarity and logic.

This book is a tough read. But, if you are serious about managing change in an organization, it is a must read. The information within will save you a lot of heartache and keep you from trying to avoid pain that will happen.

I have used this book very often during my work as change manager in companies.
I would recommend to read Kotter's book "Leading change first, to get a complete view of the approach used.

This is a book I will keep as a resource for managing change within my team and organization. Many good templates to use with directions on when and how to use them.

Nott much new in this book that is not explained in his original book "Leading Change".
But some good practical suggesting for surveys and other guideline for the 8 different steps.

Читала по работе, но вообще Коттер - это икона в мире организационного менеджмента и изменений.

This book sets up Kotter's 8 Step Change model, the cornerstone for managing organizational change.

We are all affected by change and this guide provides several diagnostic assessments, poses questions that pique interest as well as identifies key effectiveness to each step.

I got the most of out the following section:

-focus on communication throughout the entire change process.
-attempt to capture the learning from both successes and failures to leverage your experience.
-Measure the progress of the change.
-Get constant feedback on your approach. Use a coach or colleague as a sounding board for new ideas and practices.

I have to continue to remember to write down my successes and failures for every part of change so I can learn from them. This part has been the most helpful for me. I hope you take what you can and implement it well in your organization.

Review from GoodReads:

The practical implementation guide to John Kotter’s revolutionary 8-step change process and the “See-Feel-Change” approach as introduced in Leading Change and The Heart of Change. John Kotter’s change bible Leading Change has sold nearly 490,000 copies since publication in 1996 and The Heart of Change, co-written with Dan Cohen, has sold nearly 125,000 copies. Now, Dan Cohen delivers a highly practical, hands-on complement to both of these books in The Heart of Change Field Guide. Filled with practical tools, checklists and advice, this book will guide leaders and managers step-by-step through real change programs within their organisations.

Great formatting to cover a lot of material

I didn't know what to expect when reading this book. It turned out to be very clear and easy to read. If change isn't your ideal state, this book is still a good read. It's a good comparative model for changes you will undergo or have been through.

[Lisa Edwards · Rating 4 out of 5]

Buy Kotter's Leading Change, then buy this one. Cohen does an outstanding job of taking Kotter's concepts and creating a "how-to" guide that will allow the reader to not only lead the change but engage the people thru the transition.

[Sholcomb · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well executed guide to holistically engaged organizational change. Buy this if you are looking for a framework of how to plan, manage and execute organizational (especially large organization) change initiatives.

[Roilunggu · Rating 3 out of 5]

These are some good case studies in here to think about when we want to make Change. The model : See-Feel-Change is a nice approach. But, I expect more in a book talking about change, need to be more innovative maybe.

Great book with lots of useful worksheets, etc.
