Develop the change, vision and strategy. Clarify how the future will be different from the past, and how you can make that future a reality. In diesem Buch wird auf eine wundervolle Weise gezeigt, wie wir Veränderungen begegnen und wie wir das Beste daraus machen. Mit einer Kolonie von Pinguinen und dem Problem eines schmelzendes Eisberges wird aufgezeigt, welche Möglichkeiten wir haben, wenn wir sie denn ergreifen - und auch, wenn wir uns dagegen wehren.

Create a sense of urgency. Help others see the need for change and the importance of acting immediately. I knew it was time to leave the corporate world when our vice-president, a friend who had been a truly smart woman when we first started to work together, bought 300 copies of this trendy 2006 business fable* (involving penguins and melting icebergs) for the entire division. Empower others to act. Remove as many barriers as possible so that those who want to make the vision a reality can do so. Don't let up. Press harder and faster after the first successes. Be relentless with initiating change after change until the vision is a reality. Yo creo que este libro es para todas las personas. Pero yo creo que puede ayudar especialmente a organizaciones, negocios, cualquier tipo de grupos. Pero puede ser funcional para cualquier persona, porque siempre estamos con personas. En cualquier tipo de grupo. Esto también expande tus habilidades como líder en un grupo. Ayuda a guiarte en un momento de cambio.

Pull together the guiding team. Make sure there is a powerful group guiding the change - one with leadership skills, credibility, communications ability, authority, analytical skills, and a sense of urgency. I give 4 star to this book, I liked it. It was a story about a penguin colony whose iceberg was melting. All the things that they had to go through to overcome this challenge, and all the steps that they went through to succeed. This book was written as fable, so it was entertaining and at the same time you were learning. This is a book that is easy to read. I think this book is for everyone. But, I think that it will specially work for organizations, businesses, and other type of groups, because it is about changing in a group. But, it can be useful for anyone, because we are constantly with people in any type of group. This also expands your skills as a leader in a group. It helps you guide yourself through the change.

Very similar, right? The two con men just added some details that are obviously included in the steps because everybody facing changes can think about them. Then they put some sub-headings and explanations to make theirs appear different when put side by side with those of Johnson’s. Crazy.With the rise of the jejune, it makes me wonder if people who received MBA's in grad school are those who changed degrees after they failed basket weaving classes. This particular fable takes up only two cds, and a great deal of the second cd consists of the two authors answering questions and talking about the way that the fable has been put into practice at various unnamed companies. As for the story itself, we begin with Fred, a young but intelligent and curious penguin who finds evidence that the iceberg is melting and seeks to help the penguin colony avoid disaster. He goes to Alice, a somewhat bold and radical member of the ruling council, manages to convince Louis, the head of the colony, who then mobilizes support to include Buddy, a friendly but not very bright penguin, and the Professor, a very intelligent and well-respected older penguin, to manage the change. NoNo, who is in sharp opposition to change, seeks to derail the change effort, and the penguin colony has to deal with seagulls, the problem of feeding scouts, and elementary school teachers who are giving their children nightmares, but ultimately the colony is successful and decides upon a life of wandering from iceberg to iceberg without putting down permanent roots, which shows the way the writers tend to think about the contemporary business world.

I got out of there just in time. Another couple of weeks and I'd have been dressing up as Fred the visionary penguin, baking under the soul-destroying glare of the fluorescent lights of the Sequoia room in the South San Francisco Embassy Suites. And believe me, I have paid my dues as far as abusive corporate training sessions are concerned: Hold on to the new ways of behaving, and make sure they succeed, until they become strong enough to replace old traditions. Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple story about doing well under the stress and uncertainty of rapid change. Based on the award-winning work of Harvard Business School’s John Kotter, it can help you and your colleagues thrive during tough times. They need to stop killing trees for these kinds of books, even if they are used in 'board rooms and leadership committees'.It is very important to Think and Feel in this process. By thinking we refer to collecting data and presenting them fairly. In Feeling, we want people tp be surprised, compelled nd and feel what our vision. A change in feeling will lead to change in behaviour. People tend to follow their feelings and copy other, communicating with influential figures are key to success. People are less likely to change themselves and others based on data and analysis than on compelling experiences.” John P. Kotter. This quote caught my attention because I realized that we don't change by the data, but from what we have learned by experiences that had an impact on us. We are most likely to change something because of what we have gone through, not because of what we see in a data table . In my personal experience when I make a changes is because of past experiences. I also learn better from experience not form theory. When you only know the theory, when it comes to putting it in practice it is really difficult. When you learn from experience, most likely, you are able to do a better job when it comes to putting in practice. This quote opened my eyes to realize that not everything is theory. Our Iceberg is Melting is a powerful illustration of Kotter's Eight Step Process of Successful Change outlined in his book Leading Change: Yo creo que este libro me va a ayudar mucho en mi viaje como héroe. Me enseñó muchas cosas que me van a ayudar en la vida. Este libro habla sobre cambiar en un grupo, muchas veces estamos con personas alrededor. Este libro fue escrito como una fábula de un grupo de pingüinos, que actuaban exactamente igual que los humanos. Así que puedo comparar las situaciones y ser empático con lo que los pingüinos pasaron. Aprendí ocho pasos que me ayudaran a hacer cambios en grupos. Como dije, casi siempre estamos con personas, así que saber cambiar con ellos me puede ayudar mucho. Este libro me enseñó que no importa que tan grande es el grupo, siempre se puede cambiar. No es fácil cambiar, y van a haber personas que van a tratar de pararte. Los pingüinos cambiaron la colonia. Yo se que esto no es cierto, pero está basado en historias verdaderas, que pusieron en práctica los ocho pasos. Al principio las personas tal vez te ven como loco o tonto. Pero hay que seguir con el plan y trabajar duro. Esto me va a ayudar mucho en mi vida. Aunque el problema sea pequeño o grande, lidiar con personas es lo mismo. Lo puedes usar en muchos tipos de situaciones.
