El monstruo del cambio

by Jeanie Daniel Duck

Jeanie Daniel Duck realiza un brillante y original análisis de estos factores emocionales, y de las claves para comprender y liderar una organización, desde el planteamiento de los objetivos propuestos para el cambio hasta su consecución.

Sus años de experiencia como consultora de The Boston Consulting Group le han llevado a plasmar sus observaciones en una herramienta que ha llamado la «curva del cambio», con la que describe las etapas por las que pasa toda empresa que quiera completar con éxito una transformación de cierta envergadura.

Lots of good ideas here. Understand why its a bestseller, but not necessarily an eye opener)))

[Kostiantyn · Rating 1 out of 5]

Good ideas?
Yes, there are quite a few.
Real cases without fiction?
Almost there.
A proven theory of change management?
Well... I would call it a set of hypotheses supported by 1-2 examples each. So, any counter-example would prove it wrong.
And this is one of the two problems I see with this book: raw ideas are presented as a solid theory, examples are presented as evidence, etc… The other one is that the author talks about herself as another person. “I”, “my” and “me” are changed to “she” and “her”. What a strange way to write your own book.

Nice, but i wished it was more easy to read, it took me very long time to finish it as it was boring.

Change is often seen as a monster. It’s seen as something that is there to attack the status quo and disrupt everyone’s life. Jeanie Daniel Duck explains how this monster can be tamed in The Change Monster: The Human Forces That Fuel or Foil Corporate Transformation and Change. The change monster, she explains, follows a predictable path called the change curve, and by mastering the change curve, you can tame the monster.

Over the course of my career, I've learned that "change management" is both highly critical to creating positive and sustainable change while at the same time, seems to be one of the most ambiguous and widely misunderstood concepts in business. Why? Because change, at its core, requires people to do something different and there's no "formula" for changing human beings. This books brings this dilemma into sharp focus and provides lots of thought-provoking and practical insights.

Companies constantly start change initiatives and frequently results never match-up with their objectives. Why? Well people are involved and Jeanie Duck has managed to communicate this with the reader. If you are about to initiate a reorganization and desire to have your intended results achieved, you are advised to give this a read.

A good introduction to change management for those new to the topic or just starting to delve into it. Easy to read but informative, and good to keep in the back of your mind when embarking on projects involving change management

[Megomars · Rating 3 out of 5]

the 5 stages in the change curve are: 1) stagnation, 2) preparation, 3) implementation, 4) determination, 5) fruition

[Mark Terry · Rating 2 out of 5]

Took me a while to move through this one. Describes a change model and emphasizes communication and building engagement. It was OK, but not really groundbreaking.

[Joy Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great read on a little-talked about part of major, organizational-wide change: the emotional affects. Well worth reading if your organization is stagnating and an overhaul is on the horizon.
