John Paul Kotter, born on February 25, 1947, is a professor at Harvard Business School and is widely acknowledged as an authority on leadership and change management. He has become renowned for his insights into how the best companies navigate through periods of transformation.
One of Kotter’s most influential works is the international bestseller “Leading Change,” which outlines the 8 critical steps required to successfully transform an organization. This book has earned the status of a managerial bible across the globe. In October 2001, Business Week magazine named Kotter as the number one “leadership guru” in America based on a survey of 504 companies.
His most well-known work for the general public is “Our Iceberg Is Melting,” published in September 2006. Through an allegory, the book presents the 8 steps of change. It has also become the foundation for a leadership training program called “Leading Bold Change – Creating Leaders at all Levels.”
John P. Kotter is an internationally acclaimed speaker on Leadership and Change. As the Konosuke Matsushita Professor of Leadership, Emeritus at Harvard Business School and a graduate of MIT and Harvard, Kotter’s extensive experience and expertise in successful change and leadership have been repeatedly validated. Recently, he co-founded Kotter International, a leadership organization that equips leaders of Global 5000 companies with practical skills and methodologies to lead change in complex, large-scale business environments.
Kotter is the author of 18 books, with twelve of them becoming bestsellers. These works have been translated into over 150 languages, and their total sales have exceeded three million copies. His latest book, “Buy-In,” focuses on addressing challenges related to gaining support and commitment for good ideas and offers effective solutions to handle opposition. Notably, his books consistently rank in the top 1% of sales on Amazon.com.
Over the past two decades, John Kotter’s articles in The Harvard Business Review have outsold those of any other distinguished author who contributed to the publication during the same period. He has been a member of the Harvard Business School faculty since 1972 and, at the age of 33 in 1980, he was awarded tenure and a full professorship, making him one of the youngest individuals in the University’s history to receive such honors.
One of Professor Kotter’s most celebrated contributions is his article “Accelerate!” in the Harvard Business Review, where he introduced his Dual Operating System business model. This article won the 2012 McKinsey Award, recognizing it as the most significant publication in the magazine that year. Subsequently, it was expanded into a full book of the same title.
In 2009, Professor Kotter received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) in recognition of his extensive body of work and significant contributions to learning and performance in organizations.
