"More than ever, leaders are expected to be the change agents of
their organizations. Yet CEO turnover continues to rise and
organizations continue to struggle in their efforts to confront the
fearsome adaptive challenges of the global age. Epic Change
is a path-breaking contribution to the study of leadership and
organizational change. Based on a landmark study of 53 cases of
large-scale organizational change in business, healthcare,
government, education, and the non-profit sector, acclaimed thought
leader and researcher, Dr. Timothy R. Clark unveils the "Power
Curve of Change" framework and EPIC system for change management
(Evaluate, Prepare, Implement, Consolidate) for leaders who are
charged to lead high-stakes change initiatives in their
organizations. Epic Change presents a strategic-level road
map, along with tactical level tools, for the every-day needs of
leaders who must respond to all types of adaptive challenge to
remain competitive. It represents a comprehensive, research-based
program for leaders who want to develop the indispensable
competency of leading change in a permanently and profoundly
different age.
Change rarely fails for lack of strategy—Clark shows that only the discretionary efforts of people can make change happen—and this requires leadership and energy management. The Epic Change approach has been successfully field-tested with leaders at all levels and in organizations around the world. This important resource provides leaders new research-based tools to increase and sustain the energy of any change effort."
