Are you disoriented by the endless succession of change projects at your company? Do you wonder what is the point of constantly changing and how to keep your subordinates motivated under these conditions?
Olivier Vassal presents some very stimulating thinking in this book on how change has evolved in business over the past two decades. He starts by putting the acceleration of change into perspective with regard to the well-known shifts in the business environment since the nineties, including the impact of globalization and fiercer competition (Chapter 1). He then describes the impact of all this on the nature of change itself and the way it is perceived and experienced by employees (Chapters 2 to 4). He finally draws conclusions on a “new way of leading change” (Chapter 5). This book takes a refreshing look at our preconceived notions of change management.
