That’s Not How We Do It Here!
A Story About How Organizations Rise and Fall – and Can Rise Again
From THAT’S NOT HOW WE DO IT HERE! by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber Summarized by arrangement with Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC
ISBN: 9780399563942
Pages: 170
Recommendation
John Kotter and co-author Holger Rathgeber – who also collaborated on the bestseller Our Iceberg Is Melting – masterfully employ a fable in this charming little book. As they did with the penguins in Iceberg, the authors base their story around a group of meerkats – small, furry, cute carnivores living in Africa. The fable shows why organizations should employ a “dual system” of management and leadership to inspire and energize employees and meet new challenges. getAbstract recommends this engaging tale to entrepreneurs and managers dealing with change.
