Title: Our Iceberg is Melting
Author: John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber
Stars: ***
The authors use a story about penguins to reveal their 8 step process for
implementing change successfully. A penguin discovers that the iceberg
that is home to his colony is melting and it’s only a matter of time before it
goes crashing into the sea. Not surprisingly it is hard to convince others of
the gravity of the situation, and even harder to get them to act. Success is
achieved, however, as the penguins waddle their way through the process
below…
Set the Stage
1) Create a Sense of Urgency
2) Pull Together a Guiding Team
Decide What to Do
3) Develop the Change Vision and Strategy
Make it Happen
4) Communicate for Understanding and Buy-in
5) Empower Others to Act
6) Produce Short Term Wins
7) Don’t Let Up
Make It Stick
8) Create a New Culture
The change process is sound, and the book is a quick read with a story
that holds the reader’s interest.
