Synopsis

It is commonly acknowledged that successful organizations adjust quickly and intelligently to shifts in consumer tastes, political climate, and economic opportunity. But how are some able to succeed at change while so many others fail?

Wow! This book is terrific for anyone who is part of an organization--civic, business, non-profit or part of a community that wants to succeed.
