Product Description
by Kiran Chitta (Author)
Change Agility asks leaders to relate how they think, feel and behave with who they want to be. The book shares insights on ways in which leaders can enhance collective aspiration, build a deep sense of organizational alignment and grow the capacity for acceleration at critical moments. The models and advice within the book draw on insight from behavioural science, complexity theory and psychotherapy, providing an original, holistic and compelling framework to transform performance during times of change. Change agility can help leaders thrive in this era of global economic transformation. Large-scale business transformation efforts often fail to deliver value because leaders sweep complex human realities under the carpet and then try to deal with these realities when it is already too late. This is a leader's guidebook to change that is grounded in both research and professional experience. The book contains several practical tips for the development of change agility which can be absorbed quickly and put to use immediately by a busy executive reader.
