Description

� Today, virtually every organization faces massive change. Unfortunately, change is extraordinarily difficult, and most attempts to initiate and sustain it fail. In It Starts with One, J. Stewart Black and Hal B Gregersen identify the core problem: changing individuals and the �mental maps� inside their heads must happen before you can change the organization. � Just as actual maps guide people�s footsteps, mental maps guide daily behavior. Successful strategic change for the organization is all about changing individual mental maps and behaviors first, because they are the organization. � To change organizations, you must break through your own brain barrier�and help those around you do the same. One step at a time, It Starts with One shows how to do that: how to create new destinations, and new, more inspiring effective paths to sustainable change. Black and Gregersen systematically identify the brain barriers that stand in your way: failure to see, failure to move, and failure to finish. Drawing on their extensive experience consulting with world-class organizations, they offer integrated tools, strategies, and solutions for overcoming each of these obstacles. � This edition offers even more effective tools, more guidance on leading change in globalizing environments, and more insight into changing your own mental maps…liberating yourself to transform your entire organization. � Overcoming the failure to see Why organizations miss obvious market transformations�and what to do about it � Breaking through the failure to move Why people fail to change even when they see the need�and how to break through this barrier � Conquering the failure to finish Why change �stalls out� and how to maintain the momentum � Anticipating change Why too often people let the need to change become a crisis before acting�to build to a crisis before acting�and how to create the capability to anticipate change, move when needed, and finish in the future without �being told� � To Change the Organization, First Change the Individual. To Change the Individual, Read This Book! � Seventy percent of organizations that seek strategic change fail. Organizations can�t change because individuals don�t change. Individuals don�t change because powerful mental maps stand in their way. This book offers a powerful, start-to-finish strategy for helping people redraw their mental maps�and unleash their power to deliver superior, sustained strategic change. � Thoroughly updated with new techniques, case studies, and examples, this book offers even more valuable insights for today�s leaders and managers. Among the highlights: a detailed new discussion of how you must change in order to lead change�new guidance on leading change in global environments�and more integrated tools and solutions you can start using today! �Typham this is the title: Starts with One, It Changing Individuals Changes Organizations 2nd Edition
