Change Leadership - What to Do When Your Iceberg Melts
This video's not just about cute penguins!
Although it is a shameless plug using adorable animals to sell his newest book, Our Iceberg is Melting author and Harvard business professor John Kotter makes a good point about how we will respond when our "iceberg melts," - when our environment is altered, our workplace is bought out, our employment ends or our situation changes in any way. Kotter approaches the subject of change as an opportunity for transformation in our workplaces and for leadership in ourselves - "Change Leadership". This article written about Kotter in 2000 outlines his 8 phases of change, many of which (especially 3,4,5,8) parallel Kouzes and Posner's Leadership ideas as presented in The Leadership Challenge. I haven't picked up the book yet, but Kotter's teachings looks like they can offer us many great additions to our Leadership "toolboxes" and will help us excel as leaders by welcoming the trends and changes in the field, and in our lives, for many years to come!
Happy reading!
