too abstact,

This review is from: Changing the Essence: The Art of Creating and Leading Environmental Change in Organizations (Hardcover)
This book is too abstact for practitioners. I recommend "Strategic Organizational Change" by Beitler. Beitler is a practitioner.

Some Good Stuff if Your Patience is Strong Enough,

This review is from: Changing the Essence: The Art of Creating and Leading Environmental Change in Organizations (Hardcover)
As a student of change and one who writes and consults on the subject I found this pretty academic and full of theory. These folks get connected at the top of companies and then feedback to everyone what they observe from the mountaintop. What they dont seem to consider is whats happening along the way up - since they fly with the executives. There are a few scraps in here if you have time to find them. Average at best.

Gets to the heart of the matter,
By A Customer
This review is from: Changing the Essence: The Art of Creating and Leading Environmental Change in Organizations (Hardcover)
This excellent text on change management focuses on the role that human nature and psychology play in management, and offers wise advice on how to implement significant change, such as in the transition from a project management based organization to a TQM or balanced scorecard (continuous) management process, or to support business process improvements or reengineering. It is optimistic and helpful -- and short enough to give to your senior managers. Get several copies and pass around; this is a low-cost/low-risk way to get change management started in your organization.
