The Change Leader's Roadmap: How to Navigate Your Organization's Transformation, 2nd Edition

Successful organizational transformation does not just happen. It is consciously planned, designed and implemented using advanced change leadership skills and methodology. In their cutting edge book, THE CHANGE LEADER’S ROADMAP: How to Navigate Your Organization’s Transformation (Pfeiffer, September 22, 2010 / $55 paperback), best-selling authors Linda Ackerman Anderson and Dean Anderson provide a complete overview of their proven change process methodology, including strategic guidance and pragmatic tools. Jim Kouzes, author of the landmark book, The Leadership Challenge, calls Linda and Dean “the leading authorities on change leadership and organizational transformation.”

In THE CHANGE LEADER’S ROADMAP, the authors outline every key step in a complex organization transformation, showing both leaders and consultants exactly what needs to be done to succeed. This is the king of all “how-to” books on change, and includes proven advice on:
