Transformation: From Potential to Practice: A Handbook for Personal and Organizational Change

Transformation is as old as humanity and has too often been seen as the province of elite priesthoods and arcane methods holding out the promise of autonomy and fulfillment, but rarely achieving their promises. In reality, however, transformation is accessible and can be achieved by a shift in perspective from that which we formed as children to one that we invent for ourselves. When this shift in perspective is accompanied by disciplined practice, no secret methods are needed, and transformation, both for individuals and for organizations, becomes available and effective. This book provides clear background and evidence for this and offers an approach to transformation that is not dependent on any specific method or guru.

Edward M. Gurowitz holds a Ph.D. in psychology and for the past forty-plus years has studied and practiced the art of transformation in individual coaching and organizational change. He has consulted top executives and some of the largest corporations in the world, focusing on strategy, leadership development, and employee engagement. Ed is the author of two previous books, The Molecular Basis of Memory (1968) and Inclusion: The Role of Leadership (2019), as well as numerous articles and blog posts.
