Synopsis

When Jack Dorsey returned to Twitter as CEO in 2015, the company was in trouble. But unlike so many other social media platforms that have crumbled under tough conditions, Twitter is still alive—and thriving.

How did Twitter turn itself around in one of the most turbulent and competitive industries? The change management approach of authors Gregory P. Shea and Cassie A. Solomon guided a significant area of the organization's turnaround effort.

In this revised and updated edition of Leading Successful Change, Shea and Solomon share success stories from a host of companies including Twitter, Viacom, and the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, offering a tested method for leading successful change, which they have developed over a combined fifty years of helping organizations do just that.

In Leading Successful Change, Shea and Solomon share: why most change efforts fail; the two key tenets for making successful change; how to create a scene that will provide a vision of the future; the 8 Levers of Change, a tried-and-true method for designing the work environment to support the changes; and how winning companies—from IKEA to Whirlpool—are successfully implementing change.

Goodreads review by Divyesh on June 30, 2022

Authors of the book are well versed in change management. One of the insights they share with the reader is powerful: "Successful change requires to think about people involved in the change and the culture of organization has to change along with it". Authors provide a good 8 step process to lead a......more

Goodreads review by kieran thomson on October 06, 2021

Underwhelming For the price you pay this certainly is not value for money at all. It is very light in actual substance and feels half-hearted and incomplete. There were some good points made but for the price it certainly was not worth it.......more
