About Leading Successful Change

3-D cover leading successful changeWe live in a world where change is the norm rather than the exception.

The sad fact is that the majority of change efforts fail.  Chances are that you have led, or been part of a change plan that has failed.

Why did it fail, and how can the next change be successfully implemented?

In Leading Successful Change, Greg Shea and Cassie Solomon demonstrate that change, real change, means changing behavior. Making behavioral change stick means changing the work environment —  or, more precisely, the work systems that comprise the work environment.
