Our Iceberg is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions

Product Information

As to whether this book will actually change the way people react to change… well, the verdict is still out on that. We’re busy with change management at work, so I’ll reserve judgment until sometime next year. Pull together the guiding team. Make sure there is a powerful group guiding the change - one with leadership skills, credibility, communications ability, authority, analytical skills, and a sense of urgency.

In the end, I don't think this story is an accurate reflection of what we are facing at work and I would have appreciated more serious and more scholarly books on the subject. The best thing about Kotter's book was that it was short and easy to read but that was also its downfall. This is the kind of book that you might give to people who are uneducated, ignorant, and not very literate. Yo le doy 4 estrellas a este libro, me gusto mucho. Trata sobre una comunidad de pingüinos que su glaciar se estaba derritiendo. Todo lo que tuvieron que pasar para sobrevivir ese reto, y todos los paso que tuvieron que lograr para ser exitosos. Este libro fue escrito como un fábula, así que te entretiene al mismo tipo que se aprende. Este es un libro fácil de leer. Very similar, right? The two con men just added some details that are obviously included in the steps because everybody facing changes can think about them. Then they put some sub-headings and explanations to make theirs appear different when put side by side with those of Johnson’s. Crazy. Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons. That being the case, then there is nothing else to be done with your staff development plans but to take the obvious plunge: if you want to explain teamwork through dribble and simple activity -- buy the first few seasons of The Tele-Tubbies on video. Admit it, this is what US corporate culture has become, because this is where your leadership took them.

Hold on to the new ways of behaving, and make sure they succeed, until they become strong enough to replace old traditions. Ich fand den Schreibstil unheimlich toll und auch, wie der Autor dieses doch komplexe Thema auf diese wundervolle Art an den Leser bringt. Man lernt unheimlich viel davon, ohne es vielleicht im ersten Moment zu begreifen. With offices in Seattle, Boston, and London and team members located across the US and Europe, Kotter's consulting and leadership development offerings identify and build leadership potential throughout an organization, in turn creating a movement capable of sustaining results in an ever-changing world. Help others see the need for change through a bold, aspirational opportunity statement that communicates the importance of acting immediately. On an iceberg near the coast of Antarctica, group of beautiful emperor pen­guins live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home—and almost no one listens to him.

a la hora de ponerlo en práctica probablemente sea más fácil. Esta frase me ayudó a abrir los ojos que no todo es teoría. This particular fable takes up only two cds, and a great deal of the second cd consists of the two authors answering questions and talking about the way that the fable has been put into practice at various unnamed companies. As for the story itself, we begin with Fred, a young but intelligent and curious penguin who finds evidence that the iceberg is melting and seeks to help the penguin colony avoid disaster. He goes to Alice, a somewhat bold and radical member of the ruling council, manages to convince Louis, the head of the colony, who then mobilizes support to include Buddy, a friendly but not very bright penguin, and the Professor, a very intelligent and well-respected older penguin, to manage the change. NoNo, who is in sharp opposition to change, seeks to derail the change effort, and the penguin colony has to deal with seagulls, the problem of feeding scouts, and elementary school teachers who are giving their children nightmares, but ultimately the colony is successful and decides upon a life of wandering from iceberg to iceberg without putting down permanent roots, which shows the way the writers tend to think about the contemporary business world. In diesem Buch wird auf eine wundervolle Weise gezeigt, wie wir Veränderungen begegnen und wie wir das Beste daraus machen. Mit einer Kolonie von Pinguinen und dem Problem eines schmelzendes Eisberges wird aufgezeigt, welche Möglichkeiten wir haben, wenn wir sie denn ergreifen - und auch, wenn wir uns dagegen wehren. If your iceberg is sinking, Mr. Organizational Man, then consider taking this advice from a band called Tool: Learn to Swim.Empower others to act. Remove as many barriers as possible so that those who want to make the vision a reality can do so.
