Leading Change-Even If You're Not in Charge

Has this happened to you? You try to implement a change in your organization and it doesn't get the support that you thought it would. And, to make matters worse, you can't figure out why. Or, you have a great idea but can't get the resources required for successful implementation. Jennifer Bonine shares a toolkit of techniques to help you determine which ideas will-and will not-work within your organization. This toolkit includes five rules for change management, a checklist to help you determine the type of change process needed in your organization,  and methods for overcoming resistance to change from teams you don't lead. These tools-together with an awareness of your organization's core culture-will help you identify which changes you can successfully implement and which you should leave until another day.
