PRAISE FOR CHANGE "Kotter's new book, Change, is a game changer. He and his co-authors provide deep insight into the misunderstood intersection between logical and psychological business transformation strategies. If you want your business to survive and thrive, this book is a must-read."
-Kelly S. King, Chairman and CEO, Truist Bank "The background, history, and case studies show a new way of thinking and acting. The lessons are short, to the point, yet profound. This is a call to action for all who care to move from the ranks of management to be key leaders in their companies, industries, and communities."
-Douglas Williams, COO, HMS Holdings "Just as they do in their consulting work, the authors of this book make the complex challenge of leading change accessible. It boils down the 'theory of change' into commonsense advice that is actionable and relevant-no matter if you are changing strategy, reconsidering structure, or simply trying to adapt at the speed of today's change."
-Jessica DeVlieger, Global CEO, C Space
