Synopsis

Leaders know that their job is to transform their organizations to keep pace with technology and an ever-changing business environment. They also know that they are bound to fail in doing so. But this discouraging prospect is not because they won't be able to solve a technological or strategic problem. Leaders will fail because of intractable human responses associated with change—responses such as fear, ingrained habits, politics, incrementalism, and lack of imagination. These stumbling blocks always arise when we humans are faced with change, but what if we had a way to transcend them?

This book reveals a radical new method for doing just that.

Written by the executive who designed and implemented it, the neuroscientist who helped make it work, and the academic who explains why it works and how to do it, Leading Transformation introduces an innovative yet proven process for creating breakthrough change. Divided into three steps, this process uses cutting-edge tools such as science fiction, cartoons, rap music, artifact trails, and neuroprototypes to overcome people's inability to imagine or react to what doesn't yet exist, override powerful habits and routines that prevent them from changing, and create compelling narratives about the organization's future and how to get there.

Dreaming big is one thing, getting the change made so it can be a possible future is quite another. The authors claim that the process in this book will provide the tools for leading and creating real change in your business. One of the tools that grabbed my attention is the creation of a story, with......more

Unusual though very intuitive guidance how to perceived organisational transformation as for business book. Loved the mention of fear, status-quo and incrementation bias as major stoppers for innovative approach. Be visionary and know how to deal with resistance through narratives, data and prototyp......more

Goodreads review by Kay's on August 13, 2020

I thought this book had some interesting concepts, but the organization of the book was sub par. It's was just all over the place. Each chapter seemed to start a new ides, then it never got around to finishing that idea.......more
