The book represents a unique blend of a collection of big thinkers
weighing in on global changes -- including a Nobel Prize winning
psychologist, one of the co-creators of the Internet, a former military
general known to millions from his leadership in the Gulf Coast, and
many others.
Change management used to be one of those abstract concepts relegated to
business conferences and academic seminars -- a nice-to-know topic for
discussion, but hardly vital to success.
Well, could change have become more real, or more relevant, this past
decade?
Decade of Change features insights and wisdom into how to manage, and
make the most of, change. Vinton Cerf, co-creator of the Internet, peers
into the Web's future. Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman probes the
nature of decision making. Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, the
Hurricane Katrina hero, offers leadership lessons he applied in that
crisis. Visionary executive Ray Anderson makes a powerful business case
for environmental sustainability. And a host of other executives and
thinkers tackle everything from easing the fear of layoffs to promoting
wellbeing in the workplace to building customer engagement amid the
post-crash "new normal."
You'll hear from some of the best business and organizational minds in
these pages. They steered leaders through the various crises of the past
decade and helped find a way forward to what we all hope will be a
brighter and more prosperous future. Decade of Change is more than a
look backward -- it is a roadmap for what lies ahead.
