Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail by John P. Kotter
Harvard Business Review January 2007
Leaders who successfully transform businesses do eight things right (and they do them in the right order).
Editor�s Note: Guiding change may be the ultimate test of a leader�no business survives over the long term if it can�t reinvent itself. But, human nature being what it is, fundamental change is often resisted mightily by the people it most affects: those in the trenches of the business. Thus, leading change is both absolutely essential and incredibly difficult.
Perhaps nobody understands the anatomy of organizational change better than retired Harvard Business School professor John P. Kotter. This article, originally published in the spring of 1995, previewed Kotter�s 1996 book Leading Change. It outlines eight critical success factors�from establishing a sense of extraordinary urgency, to creating short-term wins, to changing the culture (�the way we do things around here�). It will feel familiar when you read it, in part because Kotter�s vocabulary has entered the lexicon and in part because it contains the kind of home truths that we recognize, immediately, as if we�d always known them. A decade later, his work on leading change remains definitive.
