Leading Change gives the reader the eight steps believed necessary toward creating change in an organization. From the steps given, they are plausible and realistic.
While the author gives the steps for change, the premise of the book is based on the fact that before you can create change you have to have a Vision that your organization subscribes too. Therefore, while you may want to create change in your organization, don't even bother that effort unless you have a specific Vision for what you want the organization to become.
My challenge with the book is the Vision concept. Working in the government space where I want to create change, it is unknown as to what Vision the organization should adhere too. I think if I were to apply this book to the campaign theme of President Obama which was "Change", this book would not help, since Vision is the key to the change.
"
The end of the book gives the reader a chapter on leadership. I believe a chapter should have been dedicated to Vision. After all, the author encourages those at the top to embrace the change, but yet left out the road map to get there with Vision.
If you have a vision, and want to instill it in your organization, Leading Change will offer you the steps to get there.
