Leading Change and "The Change Book"

By Elaine Beich

When I interviewed John Kotter for a chapter on Leading Change in the ASTD Leadership Handbook, I asked him what competency was most important for a leader when it comes to implementing change. He said it was a “sense of urgency” and noted that the rate of change is increasing everywhere for everyone, and that rate of change is volatile.

The Change Booksupports Kotter’s premise and delivers practical ideas for leaders. It is short, concise, practical, and something a leader can grab, read, and act on.

It hits the highpoints like the importance of sponsorship and how establishing metrics around any change initiative are vital to success. The authors note that leadership alone is insufficient to affecting real and lasting change and they give helpful hints on making sure you have the right team in place to implement the vision.
