Change Leader? Who Me? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987851845)

Change Leader? Who Me? Hard Earned Wisdom for Those New to Leading Change is a collection of stories and essays about what it takes to lead organizational change. This is a fun read, written in an irreverent, anecdote-laden style. not a research or case-based academic text. There are stories about ordinary people who share insights about leadership and change. There are some unusual examples (e.g., a Ritz Carleton shoe shiner, Genghis Khan, and Bruce Springsteen).

There are concept essays from almost forty years "helping leaders make strategic change," including descriptions of types of change: innovation, improvement, and integration, as well as change "levers," tools, models, methodologies, and skills to help start or accelerate organizational change.
