Zusatztext "Extreme weather events, oil spills, bank failures, massive tech shifts, cyber attacks and terrorist attacks, civil unrest, epidemics and pandemics, asset bubbles, fiscal crises, and energy price shocks. Organizations are operating in increasingly complex and turbulent worlds that require them to navigate chaos and the dynamics of change. Leveraging positive organizational energy, collective design thinking and strategic super-flexibility, Tkaczyk provides an alternative paradigm for organizational change and development. Energize-Redesign-Gel (ERG), human-centered and business-focused, is a powerful design-inspired strategy for re-imagining your business and leading positive organizational change. Filled with ready-to-use worksheets, tools and templates (You’ll save hours of time!), it’s ideal for executive and change leadership teams. A brilliant sourcebook!" – MARSHALL GOLDSMITH, New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author "Organizations with deep learning cultures are shown to be more competitive and successful in the marketplace. What’s great about Bart’s work is that he recognizes the role that learning and development can play in affecting positive change in people and companies. In Leading Positive Organizational Change, Bart introduces a new framework that involves a cycle of positive action and strategic learning that leads to sustained and effective change. And then he takes the framework and offers imminently practical and easy-to-use resources that can help any team create successful change efforts. This book will help many organizations emerge from the challenging times of today better than they were before." – TONY BINGHAM, President and CEO, Association for Talent Development (ATD) "Like no other scholar, Bart Tkaczyk knows in his writings to touch the head, the heart and the hands! With Leading Positive Organizational Change, he not only offers a conceptual model in 3 chapters that most OD practitioners will recognize and will help them in their daily practice to understand what change processes evoke in their organization. On top of that the book provides the reader with a Toolbox of 30 tools to apply the model in their own jobs! Tkaczyk's book is a ‘must read’ and even more so a ‘must use’ book for anyone who is involved with leading change in their organization!" – PROFESSOR DIRK BUYENS, Professor of Human Resources and Partner of Vlerick Business School. Professor Buyens is also Head of the HR Centre and Director of the Open Executive Education Programs at Vlerick Business School "The model and practices in this book represent, perhaps better than any other resource today, the effective blending of sound theory and relevant practice on the topic of change leadership. The literature on this topic abounds with approaches taken from a dizzying array of perspectives, often based on limited practice and devoid of any deeper understandings. In the end, the anchor of good practice often comes from seeking out enduring principles and finding ways to make them useful. From this perspective, Tkaczyk’s work continues to demonstrate the important contributions of the informed scholar-practitioner in the management and human resources fields. Certainly, the book will impact the actions of global managers seeking to lead the change process in organizations in more predictable and reliable ways." – PROFESSOR RONALD L. JACOBS, Professor, Human Resource Development (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Principal (RL Jacobs & Associates), former President of Academy of Human Resource Development (AHRD) "Dr. Bart Tkaczyk continues to deliver yet another typically pragmatic message dealing with effective organizational development, based on sound academic foundations involving strategic management approaches coupled with positive leadership. What distinguishes this new offering, compared to writings by others employing similar managerial catchwords, is his ability to in...
