‘With this extensively upgraded second edition, Dean Anderson and
Linda Ackerman Anderson solidify their status as the leading
authorities on change leadership and organizational transformation.
This is without question the most comprehensive approach for
leaders who are serious about making change a strategic
discipline.’
–Jim Kouzes, Author, The Leadership Challenge
and The Truth About Leadership
A comprehensive look at what it really takes to lead
transformation successfully, written by two of the ‘masters of the
craft.’ The author’s best-selling first edition has been
significantly updated to deliver critical insights about how
leaders can achieve breakthrough results from transformational
change, even in these challenging times. The book introduces
conscious change leadership and provides insights about the
critical human and change process dynamics that leaders must be
aware of in order to succeed, and reveals why most leaders do not
see these dynamics. Most importantly, it highlights the shift in
worldview leaders must make to deliver greater success.
The book outlines the author’s highly successful
‘multi-dimensional, process approach’ to transformation, addressing
change at the organizational, team, relational, and personal
levels. It thoroughly addresses leadership mindset and behavioral
modeling, culture change, and large systems implementations,
providing best practices developed over three decades of successful
consulting to Fortune 500 executives. Written for executives and
managers, OD consultants, change managers, project managers, and
change consultants, this must read book provides the foundation for
successful change leadership and consulting.
