There was also a good discussion about the difference between management and leadership. One think not discussed was how the vision might be modified as the process proceeds. The material in this book is 5 stars, but the book itself has a lot of filler. I think the original HBR article was better than this book because it captured all the critical issues without the extra verbosity. (  )verber | Sep 5, 2008 | John Kotter is considered the expert on Change Management. Although, I thought his arguments for the Eight step process were valid, this book doesn't offer the information one would need to actually implement change. I thought it was more of a sales book than a functional book. The highlight of the book for me was the important difference between Leadership and Management. I hope that this information becomes more mainstream - because of the projects I've worked on, that is definitely the missing piece. ( )blondestranger | Dec 21, 2007 | Management psychobabble.
