Produktbeschreibung

LEADING CHANGE STEP-BY-STEP The subject of leading change is of paramount importance for leaders these days as it seems that, more than ever, the only constant is change. It is crucial to not only have a vision, but also to be skilled at translating that vision into reality and sustaining it. Leaders must know where to start, how to win support and cope with resistance, and how to institutionalize the change initiative. Leading Change Step-by-Step offers a comprehensive and tactical guide for change leaders. This field-tested approach from change expert Jody Spiro has been used successfully for more than a decade in a wide variety of organizations, including K-12 schools and districts, universities, international agencies, and nonprofits. The book is filled with proven tactics for implementing change successfully, with helpful tools to put change efforts into practice--including rubrics, helpful questions to ask, and common mistakes to avoid. Also included are stories of struggle and success that show how this approach has been used effectively in 22 states and internationally. The tools guide leaders through analyzing situations, identifying stakeholders, and working with them effectively to bring about the desired results. Praise for Leading Change Step-by-Step "Anyone who is willing to make the tough, risky decisions to effect real change should read Leading Change Step-by-Step: Tactics, Tools, and Tales. There's no fixed formula or cookbook for reforming large, complicated systems, but Jody Spiro prescribes important steps and tools in a way that any leader can understand." --JOEL I. KLEIN, chancellor, New York City Department of Education "Spiro's book provides a practical guide for leaders who are committed to planning, implementing, and sustaining meaningful change. Her ideas should be shared throughout an organization." --ALLEN S. GROSSMAN, professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School, Cambridge, MA "Spiro gives facilitators of change practical information grounded in reality. She provides valuable tools and resources that can be used to meet the unique needs of any organization or team as they work to make and sustain changes." --CAROL SEID, principal, Fairmeadows Elementary School, West Des Moines, Iowa
