A sense of urgency - KOTTER (Massachusetts : Harvard School Press, 2008)
You know your organization needs to change. You may even know what the change needs to be: a new strategy, a new IT system, an acquisition or reorganization. But somehow, change comes too slowly, or it feel like you're pushing a boulder up a hill, or the implementation of that great new idea has stalled-again. What's missing? John Kotter shows in this eye-opening book, what's missing, and is needed in almost all organizations today, is a real sense of urgency-a distintive attitude and gut-level feeling that lead people to grab opportunities and avoid hazards, to make someting important happen today, and constantly shed low-priority activities to move faster and smarter, now. A Sense of Urgency is a powerful tool for anyone wanting to win in a turbulent world that will only continue to move faster.
