Unfortunately, change is extraordinarily difficult, and most attempts to initiate and sustain it fail. In It Starts with One, J. Stewart Black and Hal B Gregersen identify the core problem: changing individuals and the “mental maps” inside their heads must happen before you can change the organization. Just as actual maps guide people’s footsteps, mental maps guide daily behavior. Successful strategic change for the organization is all about changing individual mental maps and behaviors first, because they are the organization. To change organizations, you must break through your own brain barrier–and help those around you do the same. One step at a time, It Starts with One shows how to do that: how to create new destinations, and new, more inspiring effective paths to sustainable change. Black and Gregersen systematically identify the brain barriers that stand in your way: failure to see, failure to move, and failure to finish. Drawing on their extensive experience consulting with world-class organizations, they offer integrated tools, strategies, and solutions for overcoming each of these obstacles. This edition offers even more effective tools, more guidance on leading change in globalizing environments, and more insight into changing your own mental maps...liberating yourself to transform your entire organization.
To Change the Individual, Read This Book! Reviews “This book broke my own brain barrier, asking me to think differently about ideas and processes that I’d become too comfortable with. It’s a significant contribution to the field of organizational change and will undoubtedly help us be more successful with change. And I love the maps–they provoke my intellect and imagination.” —Margaret J. Wheatley, Author of Leadership and the New Science, Turning to One Another, and Finding Our Way “What a pleasure to find a book on change focused on ‘leading’ rather than ‘managing’ change. Leaders create change; they don’t react to it. This book addresses the crux of that leadership issue by focusing on people, where the real change must occur.” —Richard D. Hanks, Chairman and President, Mindshare Technologies “Few things add greater value than effectively leading strategic change. Few books show you how to do it better than this one.” —Dave Ulrich, Author of Leadership Brand, Professor of Business, University of Michigan and Partner, The RBL Group
