The Global Crosswinds of Change

The World Likes Change! It excites the curiosities, stimulates the mind, and challenges the human spirit. It can, though, bring immense, and sometimes fatal, challenges to large and small organizations alike by altering the perception that any one person, or groups of persons, places on the value of an organization. Do you understand the change cycle, both visible effects and hard to see causes? Better yet, do you understand how to apply change management thinking to mitigate its negative effects and leverage its positive ones? Taking the reader through the five stages of a change cycle, including Start-up, Growth, Balance, Chaos, and Decline, the authors dissect the causes and effects, as well as what needs to be done to re-invent the organization. The knowledge in this book can be applied to private enterprise, government agencies, not-for-profits, and military organizations. It can even be applied to the reader's own professional growth! This outstanding book, written by two of the best internationally known organizational writers and advisors, breaks it all down for you, giving you and your organization the ability to succeed today, and the power to predict tomorrow!
