Beschreibung

Leading change just got a whole lot easier.

Think you need awe-inspiring visions, complicated plans, and fist-pounding speeches to inspire change? Think again.  

A rising tide of real leaders ranging from banking executives and heads of multinational manufacturers to hospital administrators and small business owners have discovered a surprisingly simple way to deliver steady results in spite of unrelenting change. Brimming with compelling stories and grounded in research, Domino: The Simplest Way to Inspire Change reveals two approaches to leading change: Change by Addition and Change by Decision. Disturbingly, Change by Addition is far less effective, but is used far more often. Until now. Luckily, Change by Decision is not only more effective it also requires less time and fewer resources—allowing ordinary managers to take their teams in exciting new directions.

• Understand how to free yourself and your team from the shackles of change by addition.
• Explore stories of real leaders in a multitude of industries to see how the Domino techniques apply in any situation
• Examine the leadership skills that inspire smart strategies and adaptive teams
• Execute plans quicker and easier by mastering the art of effective change leadership

Domino: The Simplest Way to Inspire Change is a radically simple book that highlights a new approach for executing change and inspiring agility in the workplace.
