I’ve been working on crystallizing my thoughts on creating adoption and engagement. As a part of that I’ve been looking for frameworks for creating change. One of the models that I was investigating was John Kotter’s 8-step model that’s laid out in his book Leading Change. I decided that it was worth getting the full story so I read the book. The model in summary is...

3.5 stars. Content is dry and early chapters were difficult to get through. I thoroughly enjoyed the final two chapters on business leadership in the 21st century and personal leadership growth through lifelong learning habits that will help propel you towards the kind of leader and manager that can make a significant positive impact on the people and businesses around you.
I wanted a quick read/listen for whilst I was getting ready for work one morning. I found this gem in my audible library.
I have spent most of my working life as a Project Manager leading change related projects so nothing in this was new. I was hoping I would find ways in which I can improve as I have this inbuilt self doubt.
This book didn't teach me anything new. It taught me I am actually pretty damn good at my job. It gave me confidence in a way that I didn't expect. I feel more confident and capable after reading this. It reaffirmed my belief in my skills and how I lead change related projects.
Overall a really good read and makes me want to branch out and read/listen to other business related books.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyway want to learn more about how to lead change related projects.

Most of the information in this book can be reasonably worked out from the table of contents. It wasn’t the most inspiring writing wise. Read it for work otherwise probably wouldn’t have read it.

I can see why this book is considered a classic of the management genre, but its content was extremely broad and lacking in detail. It'd be just as effective as a longish article in HBR if all the fluff were cut out (and it's mostly fluff). Still, the overall message is a good one, and I'm glad I read it.
This book was quite interesting. It is difficult for me to write reviews on non-fiction books and self-help type books, but I am going to try to do better with them.
This book had some fantastic points and I believe some strong wisdom that is still relevant for todays day and age. There are so many companies and corporations out there that have continued to do things the way they have always been done, but that is not going to be productive for them in the long run. As given through evidence in this book, so many of those companies went under in the 80s and I believe we are seeing ramifications of that today as well. Many companies went under due to the pandemic and not being able to keep up and transform.
I know the younger generations are not going to put up with companies leaders and management styles, which this book points out as well. There are many points in this book that give advice for how to trans form the leadership within companies to help propel them to the future that is needed to make the companies last.
I think many a manager needs to read this, because there are sooo many out there that are shit managers and even poorer leaders. We are a world that is in desperate need of leaders.

DNF @ 50% - This book has a lot of great information, but it makes a few assumptions that are not applicable for a professional of the millennial generation. Rather than go into detail, this book needs to be updated with information that is applicable for the millennial age during Covid times. Otherwise this book isn’t worth the read.
