"The best book I have ever come across for managing Change... This is a book that would be critical for senior leadership teams, managers and change leaders. It talks about the 10 challenges during the various stages of Change.
A brilliant book full of lessons and workshop material - exercises that can be used on the go with your teams to help them learn not just to cope but to embrace change well."
"This book was required reading in my Management Behavior class, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Senge is the "inventor" of the "learning organization" and although it is a bit of pie in the sky for an organization to achieve this status, it never hurts to strive for it anyway. His ideas are innovative and workable. A great read for business/psychology of management."
"The Dance of Change: The Challenges to Sustaining Momentum in Learning Organizations Peter M. Senge, Art Kleiner, Charlotte Roberts, and George Roth Currency Press
In this book, Senge and his co-authors focus on three types of challenges when attempting to establish and then develop a "Total Learning Organization":
The Challenges of Initiating: Not enough time, no help (i.e. mentoring, coaching, constructive criticism), "won't work," "tried it last year and it flopped," not relevant, "not my job," etc.
The Challenges of Sustaining Transformation which result from fear and anxiety about assessment and measurement; also conflicts between True Believers and Non-Believers
The Challenges of Redesigning and Rethinking issues related to governance, diffusion, strategies, and purpose
Senge and his co-authors provide a cohesive and comprehensive system with which to achieve and then sustain (emphasis on "sustain") "profound change." It is critically important to select with great care what is most appropriate from the abundance of material (especially counsel) provided in this book. The selection process should be unhurried but expeditious. Those involved should include only those who are wholeheartedly committed to achieving "profound change" (i.e. "True Believers"). Moreover, their number should not threaten effective communication and collaboration. Like the construction of a building, building a "Total Learning Organization" requires a "blueprint," sufficient resources, materials of the highest quietly, inspiring leaders and effective managers, talented associates, and (most important) a shared commitment. Obviously, each organization will need its own "blueprint." Success or failure when implementing it will depend upon its own people. It cannot be otherwise. View The Dance of Change created by Senge and his co-authors, therefore, as an invaluable resource...and proceed accordingly."
