Lightning in a Bottle: Proven Lessons for Leading Change
...A practical reflection of David's travels through corporations... and life. Lots of very useful and inspiring ideas of what to do and what NOT to do to solve problems in organizations. The book is organized into short, easy to read chapters, each making a key point. NOT the usual business rhetoric; instead it's based on actual experiences, so it's both funny and packed with learning. Highly recommended!

I LOVED it
I LOVED this book. Practical, useful, funny, refreshing. I was delighted with the specific suggestions and useful information provided. I could pick it up anywhere, read from anywhere. It's a delight to have a leadership book so accessible.In particular, the chapters on the change cycle and the benefits we get in NOT changing were especially useful and thought-provoking.
My only problem was everyone who picked up my copy wanted to take it with them.

Helpful
This book arranges some good ideas in a natural manner. The explanations are clear and sufficient. But what makes it different from other articles in "change management" area is the auther's ability to make readers focus on what they could have been wrong, when they have conducted a plan in the past. This is different. Too often, articles talk about how to make changes happen in an organization make deep studies on how people in organization will response and how the reader should do accordingly - without changing the reader/pioneer's stand. This one brings the topic back to what readers may improve in future actions.
