Making Change Stick: Twelve Principles for Transforming Organizations

Does something need to change in your organization? Are you pondering how to get started -- or wondering why the last change initiative was less than a resounding success? This book explores the reasons why change fails to stick and offers practical suggestions for building and leading change-capable organizations.

The essential components for initiating and sustaining change are analyzed in twelve steps. Each section includes questions for leaders to ask themselves about their organization and their own influence on its attitude toward change, as well as practical ideas for helping everyone in the organization become more adaptable, resilient, and change-capable. Leaders at all organizational levels can make change stick by following the principles detailed in this book.
