Our Iceberg is Melting
Book Review
This is one great book suitable to be read by a CEO up to the 6 year old kid who is able to read a book.
Kotter presented his ideas in a simple book which use fable as the means. This is about a penguin colony in Antartica who has been living peacefully at the same place for the many many years. Then one curious bird by the name of Fred found a potentially devastating problem that can destroy their habitat - and nobody listens to him.
All the characters in this story Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor and NoNo, are just like the people that we know. Their tale is about the resistance to change and heroic action to counter it.
Lessons learned:-
1) Create the sense of urgency
2) Pull Together a TEAM to counter this
3) Develop the change VISION and STRATEGY
4) Communicate for Understanding and Buy In
5) Empowers Others to Act
6) Produce Short-Term Wins
7) Don't Let Up, keep on pressing for first success
8) Create a New Culture
Personal review
5 star book for my kids and my bosses to read!
