Change Leader? Who Me?

Hard-Earned Wisdom for Those New to Leading Change

Business Consulting / Organizational Change

Change Leader? Who Me?

Technology? Politics? Climate? Innovate! Improve! Integrate! Mind-shaking change is everywhere in business today. Maybe you were just asked to lead a change initiative? Maybe your last one didn’t work out so well?

Hint: Change is always about people, doing something different or differently. And why would they? — unless someone told them “why” and helped them choose to change. That’s your job. No pressure.

People who successfully lead change initiatives rise quickly. Yet 70% of corporate change initiatives fail. High Reward; High Risk. Why not build the critical capability in business today, Leading Change?

Change Leader? Who Me? Hard Earned Wisdom for Those New to Leading Change is a collection of stories and essays about what it takes to lead organizational change. This is a fun, somewhat irreverent read, not a research or case-based academic text, but with it you can increase your change leadership capability.

There are stories about the change insights of ordinary people, and some unusual leadership examples, a Boy Scout leader, a shoe shiner, Genghis Khan, and Bruce Springsteen. There are also how-to guides for change “levers,” tools, models, methodologies, and skills to start or accelerate organizational change.

Change Leader? Who Me? by Alan Cay Culler

Change Leader? Who, Me? beautifully articulates a powerful and often overlooked truth: leadership in driving change is not confined to titles or positions. Anyone can step up to initiate positive change.”

Change doesn’t start with memos. It starts when someone steps up to lead.

This book is for everyone in an organization—from the CEO in the corner office to the person working on the assembly line. Real change often starts when someone, somewhere in the system, decides that things can be better and is willing to lead the effort.
