""Leading Change" provides a great overview of what it takes to effectively implement change in an organization. Kotter's eight step plan (create urgency, form coalitions, create a vision, communicate the vision, remove obstacles, short-term wins, build on change, and anchoring change) provides a perfect framework for leading and executing change in any organization. And most importantly, it's not as boring as most HBR books. With that said, I was left a little unsatisfied with the "how" provided by the book. Kotter does a wonderful job of explaining the "what" and "why" around his theories, but trying to figure out how to pull off his plan in a dysfunctional organization run by self-interested leaders focused on maximizing their own bonuses...is difficult at best. Kotter acknowledges the challenges, but doesn't really help you overcome them. As a leader, I know it's my job to figure it out, but a little more help would have been nice. Worth reading, but may be difficult to implement."

" Change is something that any one or an organization needs to go through to achieve goals. This is a fantastic book that gives excellent insights that are contemplating on making a change, to position oneself or an entity, and be successful! Reading this book is very engrossing as I feel it is like speaking to our heart and soul. John Kotter has experienced it in and out that he explains it in very simple, but compelling and powerful language. "
— Madubala, 2/6/2014" ~ One of my all-time favorite books on change management ~ John Kotter is brilliant and the strategies he outlines in this book are excellent & effective. He provides a road map to leaders to help lead change in their organizations, departments, business units and/or teams. Filled with great tools and wonderful diagnostics, I have used this book many times over the years when helping leaders with change efforts, teaching change management and/or effecting change in my personal world. "
— Heather, 1/29/2014" I read this book based on a recommendation from the instructor of a class that I was took on Leadership Strategy and Communication. John Kotter is considered to be the foremost expert on change management, and this book was a great primer on how to institute lasting change in organizations. I will definitely read more of Kotter's work. "
— Beth, 1/22/2014" Audio book: Kotter is a well-respected academic in organzation behavior, particularly in the disciplne of leadership. His model of how to successfully implement organization change is solid! There's lots of interesting cases which help give his method context. "

— Charles, 12/21/2013" Read this for work. It was pretty good for developing tools for handling change well in the workforce. If you need to muscle something through at the office, it is worth checking out. "
— Alix, 12/13/2013" Great points but a really boring read. "
— Rebekah, 11/30/2013" As a change management practitioner, I'm often asked for advice on which books most help to provide an understanding of this discipline. I always point them to kotter, and in particular recommend they start with Leading Change. It resonates to this day! "
