Product Description

Of organizations that seek strategic change, 70% fail. In Leading Strategic Change,now in paperback, leading consultants J. Stewart Black and Hal B. Gregersen examine the core problem: organizations fail to change because individuals fail to change. Black and Gregersen identify the "brain barriers" that keep strategic change from success--failure to see, failure to move, and failure to finish--and offer a start-to-finish strategy for helping others change how they view their goals and the steps they must take to achieve them. This book systematically shows you how to implement the single change that makes all the others possible: redirecting individuals' ideas and expectations to be aligned with the new direction of the company.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, plus..., June 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Strategic Change (Hardcover)

This is a great book. I recommend it in addition to "Strategic Organizational Change" by Beitler.

Black & Gregersen focus on the management development level. Beitler focuses on the organization development level.

They make a great combo!

3.0 out of 5 stars Narrow Focus, July 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Leading Strategic Change (Hardcover)

Interesting, but the focus on the organization is missing. We should not confuse management development with organization development (or vice versa).
