"One cannot manage change", says the great management consultant Peter Drucker, "one can only be ahead of it". "Managing Change" is a vindication Drucker's injunction.
Here's a collection of hard-earned lessons from top business leaders on how not only to stay ahead of change, but how to plan for it and how to develop processes to deal with it.
Start with the individual, says William Harrison, former Chairman and CEO of JP Morgan Chase & Co. Identify members of the leadership team who see change as a positive force and remove those who perceive change in a negative light.
Continuously monitor the business environment for changes that could impact your business and prepare contingency plans to deal with them, says Paul Skinner, Chairman of Rio Tinto. And be ready to re-invent the company in light of the new realities.
Above all, always strive to create a management structure that allows the company to respond quickly to new situations. Prefer flexibility--the ability to quickly change priorities, personnel and purpose-- to stability, which can lead to slowness to act, says Maurice Levy, Chairman and CEO of Publicis Groupe.
"Managing Change" contains many such lessons learnt from the real-life experiences of successful business men and women. It is attractively designed in a size that fits easily into pocket or purse and is easy to read, with concise stories and essential summaries or take-aways for each one.
