They had little capacity to lead and manage the change required.And, of course, consulting firms were swarming all over them. They needed this book by the Andersons to help them. In fact, Chapter 5 alone on building organizational capability is worth the price of the book.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>W. Warner Burke, Ph.D<\/strong>. Beyond Change Management is a \u2018must read\u2019 for today\u2019s C-Suite executives and those who lead organizational change. Change is a fact of life in all successful businesses.

The additional years of experience even deepen the author\u2019s articulation of the links between theory and practice. These books are outstanding resources for both organization change consultants and organization system leaders. Having a roadmap in common promotes the teamwork required for complex adaptive and continually evolving change efforts.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>Charles Seashore, Ph.D.<\/strong> Dean and Linda have broken the code by integrating the leadership of people and culture with business content to deliver results from change.

This book reveals their wisdom.<\/em>Pete Fox<\/strong> For today’s leaders and managers, the promise of ‘change management’ seems to be everywhere, but unfortunately not how to achieve real change results. That gap is ably filled by the Andersons who use their more than 60 years of combined experience to clearly explain what is needed and how to do it. Their discussions of a multi-dimensional, process-oriented approach for achieving transformational results and what it takes to be a conscious change leader should be required reading in all OD and MBA programs.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/em>Robert J.
