Title: That’s not how he do it here !
In their iconic bestseller Our Iceberg Is Melting, John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber used a simple fable about penguins to explain the process of leading people through major change. Now, ten years later, they’re back with another must-have story that will help any team or organization overcome their biggest challenges and turn them into exciting opportunities.
Once upon a time there was a clan of meerkats living in the Kalahari, a region of southern Africa. After years of steady growth, a drought has severely depleted the clan’s resources and deadly vulture attacks have increased. As things get worse, the harmony of the clan is shattered. The management team squabbles over possible solutions, and suggestions from front-line workers are met with an overwhelming response: “That’s not how we do it here!” »
So Nadia, a bright and adventurous meerkat, hits the road in search of new ideas to help her struggling clan. She discovers a much smaller group that functions very differently, with much more teamwork and agility. These meerkats have developed innovative solutions to find food and escape vultures. But not everything in this small clan is as perfect as it first appears.
Can Nadia figure out how to combine the best of both worlds – a large, disciplined, well-run clan and a small, informal, inspiring clan – before it’s too late?
This book summarizes Kotter’s decades of experience and award-winning research to reveal why organizations rise and fall, and how they can rise again in the face of adversity; That’s not how he do it here !
