itstartswithone With change initiatives failing at a rate of 50-80%, the idea of changing individuals as the first step in organizational alignment seems to have a lot of validity. Black and Gregersen simplify the fundamentals of change and clearly describe the why and how of redrawing the mental map of employees and leaders alike. Accompanied by the firm belief that overcoming change barriers isn’t enough, the book is packed full of simple assessment and planning tools and strategies for experiential employee engagement.
