Leading change management - David M. Herold

A survey of over 1000 corporate directors found that 31% of CEOs fired by their boards were removed because they mismanaged change - less than 20% of all change initiatives are really successful.

Leading Change Management will help you turn those statistics around. Grounded in reality, it is based on a study of over 300 change management processes involving over 8000 individuals. The research revealed that change is a messy, complicated process affected by many factors and that the leaders involved need a framework to produce a successful outcome. The resultant model developed by the authors, and outlined in this book, was then road-tested by hundreds of frontline managers to prove that it works.

If you are faced with spearheading a new change initiative, then Leading Change Management will help you make sure the outcome is a successful one.
