Recommendation

The only constant in business is change. Competitors that evolve with the times will outpace companies that fail to update their operations. Leadership consultants Antoine Gerschel and Lawrence Polsky teach corporate leaders how to retool their companies, their employees and themselves to stay ahead of change and outrun their competition. The authors provide numerous valuable tips, tactics and techniques – plus instructional case histories – to help your organization manage necessary change. Despite some small proofing glitches, getAbstract recommends the authors’ take on how and when to address change, and directs your emphasis to the practices they outline to help you lead your organization through continuing transformation.

Take-Aways

  • In business, change is a constant. Your market, technology or CEO can drive change.
  • Businesses now operate in a constant “VUCA” environment – that is: “volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.”
  • To stay competitive, your company must be able to change on a “just-in-time basis”; that requires “rapid retooling.”
