Publisher's Summary:
Change-Friendly Leadership: How to Transform Good Intentions into Great Performance is a simple affirmation that successful organizational change involves - requires, in fact - the active, willful participation of the people affected by the change.
Change by announcement, change by slogan, and certainly change by executive decrees are doomed to failure.
Effective change requires genuinely engaging the brains of the people expected to embrace and even champion the new state of affairs.
Effective change requires engaging people's feelings - not merely making a business case for action but making a compelling psychological case for action.
Effective change requires engaging people's earnest hopes.
In this context hope is not used as the verbal equivalent of crossing your fingers: "I hope my team wins the game." In this book hope is used to denote people's heartfelt aspirations, their dreams, even their senses of self. Any change effort that ignores or pays mere lip service to that kind of engagement is destined for disappointment.
In the change approach prescribed here, the friendly factor is not just a play on words; it is the very foundation for effectively engaging people's heads, hearts, and hopes. Think-friendly, Talk-friendly, Trust-friendly, and Team-friendly form a relationship framework, or operating system, that brings out the best in people.

Members Reviews:
Learn how to manage change in a way that brings people together. I highly recommend it!
After reading Dr. Rodger Dean Duncanâs, book, Change-friendly Leadership, I understood why it is a bestseller. It helps to demystify the change process by reminding us that change is a natural part of our life. In an organizational setting, change can feel overwhelming and daunting, with many formidable challenges. Dr. Duncan teaches us how to chunk change down. He gives us practical solutions and guidelines we can put to use every day to help us manage change in a way that brings people together, rather than ripping them apart.
His pragmatic book teaches us what to look for and prepare for, so we can be empowered by change, rather than at the mercy of it. Five guiding principles gave me a powerful map for making change friendly:
â Keep it Simple. Back to Basics
â Make Results, not excuses. Get Real
â Control the Journey. Draw your own map.
â Want to lead? Be a Gardener. Go for Growth.
â Lead the Whole Person. Life your People
I most appreciate Dr. Duncanâs generosity in sharing stories, insights and lessons learned from his life as a seasoned consultant and businessman, and as a father and husband.
Is change a part of your work life? Do you seek to manage change in a way the respects and honors people and builds alignment? Is it important to you to lead change for the right reasons? Are you interested in growing as a change leader people trust? This book will show you the way. The self-assessments throughout the book will help you see where you have opportunities to grow and where you can develop your own change management skills.
This book should be required reading in all business schools. I highly recommend it!
