a la hora de ponerlo en práctica probablemente sea más fácil. Esta frase me ayudó a abrir los ojos que no todo es teoría. Very similar, right? The two con men just added some details that are obviously included in the steps because everybody facing changes can think about them. Then they put some sub-headings and explanations to make theirs appear different when put side by side with those of Johnson’s. Crazy.

In diesem Buch wird auf eine wundervolle Weise gezeigt, wie wir Veränderungen begegnen und wie wir das Beste daraus machen. Mit einer Kolonie von Pinguinen und dem Problem eines schmelzendes Eisberges wird aufgezeigt, welche Möglichkeiten wir haben, wenn wir sie denn ergreifen - und auch, wenn wir uns dagegen wehren. Our Iceberg Is Melting is based on John Kotter's pioneer­ing research into the eight steps that can produce needed change in any sort of group. After finishing the story, you'll have a powerful framework for influencing your own team, no matter how big or small. Develop the change, vision and strategy. Clarify how the future will be different from the past, and how you can make that future a reality.

Help others see the need for change through a bold, aspirational opportunity statement that communicates the importance of acting immediately. A fun and interesting fable using the story of a colony of Emperor Penguins as a metaphor for how an organization can go about making a needed change.On an iceberg near the coast of Antarctica, group of beautiful emperor pen­guins live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home—and almost no one listens to him. People are less likely to change themselves and others based on data and analysis than on compelling experiences.” John P. Kotter. This quote caught my attention because I realized that we don't change by the data, but from what we have learned by experiences that had an impact on us. We are most likely to change something because of what we have gone through, not because of what we see in a data table . In my personal experience when I make a changes is because of past experiences. I also learn better from experience not form theory. When you only know the theory, when it comes to putting it in practice it is really difficult. When you learn from experience, most likely, you are able to do a better job when it comes to putting in practice. This quote opened my eyes to realize that not everything is theory. As to whether this book will actually change the way people react to change… well, the verdict is still out on that. We’re busy with change management at work, so I’ll reserve judgment until sometime next year. I give 4 star to this book, I liked it. It was a story about a penguin colony whose iceberg was melting. All the things that they had to go through to overcome this challenge, and all the steps that they went through to succeed. This book was written as fable, so it was entertaining and at the same time you were learning. This is a book that is easy to read. The book accurately "types" people in a creative way, and subtly offers real tips for persuading large groups of people. Sadly, some people who read this book will not be swayed by it - not because the information is untrue, but because people are unaware of what they are doing and how they are feeling.

With the rise of the jejune, it makes me wonder if people who received MBA's in grad school are those who changed degrees after they failed basket weaving classes. Whether you work in a business or the business of life, everyone from CEOs to high school students can gain from what they take from this story.” Press harder and faster after the first successes. Be relentless with irritating change after change until the vision is a reality Now cross your arms the other way, so that whatever arm you normally cross on top is now under your other arm. How do you feel? Awkward? Most people only ever cross their arms one way - in fact, according to "The Definitive Book of Body Language", 90% cross the left arm over the right. Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons.I knew it was time to leave the corporate world when our vice-president, a friend who had been a truly smart woman when we first started to work together, bought 300 copies of this trendy 2006 business fable* (involving penguins and melting icebergs) for the entire division. I think this book is for everyone. But, I think that it will specially work for organizations, businesses, and other type of groups, because it is about changing in a group. But, it can be useful for anyone, because we are constantly with people in any type of group. This also expands your skills as a leader in a group. It helps you guide yourself through the change. The characters in the story—Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo—are like people you probably recognize in your own organization, including yourself. Their tale is one of resistance to change and heroic action, seemingly intractable obstacles and clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. The penguins offer an inspiring model as we all struggle to adapt to new circumstances.

After finishing the story, you’ll have a powerful framework for influencing your own team, no matter how big or small. I got out of there just in time. Another couple of weeks and I'd have been dressing up as Fred the visionary penguin, baking under the soul-destroying glare of the fluorescent lights of the Sequoia room in the South San Francisco Embassy Suites. And believe me, I have paid my dues as far as abusive corporate training sessions are concerned: Clarify how the future will be different from the past, and how you can make that future a reality.Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple story about doing well under the stress and uncertainty of rapid change. Based on the award-winning work of Harvard Business School’s John Kotter, it can help you and your colleagues thrive during tough times. Our Iceberg is Melting is a powerful illustration of Kotter's Eight Step Process of Successful Change outlined in his book Leading Change: That being said, we can proceed as if the tenants of the story are factually based and there is a population of Emperor Penguins who have always lived on the same iceberg and never migrate. Now that iceberg is "melting" (actually, the threat of breaking apart at fault lines would pose the more imminent threat) and the penguins need to agree first on what is happening and then on a course of action.
