Lobbia, former chairman and CEO, DTE Energy "This book is about mastery of leading the transformational change process written by master of the craft. A serious read for corporate leaders and consultants who consider themselves committed students of the process of organizational change." --Daryl Conner, CEO/president, ODR and author, Managing at the Speed of Change and Leading at the Edge of Chaos "In today's world of organization change, everyone talks about the necessity of changing people's mindsets, especially people in positions of leadership. But no one tells us what mindset means, much less (how to) change it. The beauty of this easy-to-read book by Anderson and Ackerman Anderson is that they do both! A significant contribution indeed!" --W. Warner Burke, professor of psychology and education, Teachers College, Columbia University, and senior advisor, PricewaterhouseCoopers "A compelling and practical picture of the theory, concept, and application that individuals and leaders must embrace to successfully support individual and organization transformation." --John Carter, Ph.
