PRAISE FOR CHANGE "Kotter's new book, Change, is a game changer. He and his co-authors provide deep insight into the misunderstood intersection between logical and psychological business transformation strategies. If you want your business to survive and thrive, this book is a must-read."—Kelly S. King, Chairman and CEO, Truist Bank "The background, history, and case studies show a new way of thinking and acting. The lessons are short, to the point, yet profound. This is a call to action for all who care to move from the ranks of management to be key leaders in their companies, industries, and communities."—Douglas Williams, COO, HMS Holdings "Just as they do in their consulting work, the authors of this book make the complex challenge of leading change accessible. It boils down the 'theory of change' into commonsense advice that is actionable and relevant—no matter if you are changing strategy, reconsidering structure, or simply trying to adapt at the speed of today's change. As we prepare for a post-COVID world, never has there been a time when harnessing the imagination and energy of employees has been more critical for companies that want to thrive in an environment that may look completely different than a year ago. This marvelous book can help companies prepare for this massive challenge...and opportunity."—Jessica DeVlieger, Global CEO, C Space

"Das neue Buch von Kotter, Change, ist ein Meilenstein. Er und seine Co-Autoren bieten tiefe Einblicke in die missverstandene Schnittmenge zwischen logischen und psychologischen Strategien der Unternehmensumwandlung. Wenn Sie wollen, dass Ihr Unternehmen überlebt und gedeiht, ist dieses Buch ein Muss." Kelly S. King, Vorsitzender und CEO, Truist Bank "Genau wie in ihrer Beratungsarbeit machen die Autoren dieses Buches die komplexe Herausforderung, Veränderungen zu leiten, zugänglich. Es fasst die 'Theorie des Wandels' in praktische Ratschläge zusammen, die umsetzbar und relevant sind - ganz gleich, ob Sie Ihre Strategie ändern, Ihre Struktur überdenken oder einfach versuchen, sich an die Geschwindigkeit des heutigen Wandels anzupassen. Während wir uns auf eine Welt nach der COVID-Ära vorbereiten, war es noch nie so wichtig wie heute, die Vorstellungskraft und die Energie der Mitarbeiter für Unternehmen zu nutzen, die in einem Umfeld erfolgreich sein wollen, das möglicherweise ganz anders aussieht als noch vor einem Jahr. Dieses wunderbare Buch kann Unternehmen helfen, sich auf diese enorme Herausforderung ... und Chance vorzubereiten." Jessica DeVlieger, Global CEO, C Space
