As with any collection of articles, some will be better or more relevant to you than others. This collection is solid and of the quality you expect from HBR. The content spans from turnarounds to cultural shifts, covering the do's and dont's of training programs as well as how to introduce cultural change. The content here is gears towards C-Suite executives but is useful for change agents throughout all levels of an organization.
Some of the articles are older but the collection is a great start if you are interested in change management. I was complacently new to the subject and hoped this collection is a good followup to Kotter's "Leading Change". I was not disappointed. I started to understand better the topic and it was easier to navigate trough the sea of countless titles on change and change management.
Change management isn't anything easy. This book is a very progessional guide on it.
Some articles were amazingly helpful, others were so-so.
Such great motivation to get out and make a difference!
I just invested in myself with the HBR’S 10 Must Reads Collection by Harvard Business Review Press. This series is really good because each book has 10 of the best articles published by Harvard University on each topic. I think it is a must read for any ambitious manager, new or experienced leader.It is easy to read, each book has approximately 300 pages. Each chapter is an article from great authors such as Peter F. Drucker, Theodore Levitt, Robert S. Kaplan, David P. Norton and others. One of
First articles were better than the second half but it was nice to see different perspectives on change management.
Good mix of essays, some that I'd say are 5-star and a couple that are real snoozers - "Good" overall. I'd recommend this book to anyone in an organization that is facing a lot of change. If you're in leadership there are probably some good insights, and if you're not in leadership you'll at least be able to get inside their heads and see what they think about.
A robust collection of HBR articles on the topic of change management:Leading Change: Why Transformation Efforts Fail- no urgency, no powerful guiding coalitions, no vision, no communication of visionChange Through Persuasion-set stage. frame the turnaround plan, manage the mood, prevent backslidingLeading Change When Business is Good: An Interview with Samuel J.

To begin with, I have a few recommendations here, if you are in a hurry and don't want to go through all the articles here.1. Tipping Point Leadership- This ought to be read by everyone, but esp by people at top positions in Service Industries. It is a brilliant account of the revival of the New York Police Department, and how it was completely a one-man show! This would feel more like a well-narrated adventure story than a monotonous Change Management article. :)2. Cracking the code of change-
Had to read this for class. Most of the articles were interesting and not too hard to understand.
Very dry material. The police change story was seen in another book. The best I got out from it is the DICE framework Duration, Integrity, Commitment, Effot. DICE score = D + (2xI) + (2XC1) + C2 + E.
It is a good crash course into Organisational Change, but does not add a lot if you already have familiarity with a topic. Some great classic articles on why change initiatives fail and why people have diffuculty changing. Reading through the book, had a few moments of "should remember this" - but for a book called "must reads" would have expected much more of those. It is a worthy refresher nontheless.
Like most HBR books like this I’ve read the content was good but it was not presented in an engaging way. I did appreciate the specific examples and ways to implement and encourage change, however improving the way the articles were written could have made them more interesting to read.
Few articles about change management in a large organization. Generally good stuff, but much of it is yesterday’s news... Still: worth reading.
Must-read for any leader and manager involved in change programs
Just like what the cover says... If you read nothing else on change management, read these 10 articles.It combined multiple views on Change along with useful tactics and strategies, that went through the individual, the teams and the organization. Highly recommended to anyone exploring the topic of Change management & transformation.
Mostly great examples, some good ones tooSeveral different types of change management. The anecdotal evidence was good and some of the research was better. Some of the research seemed to be in progress at the time of this publishing.
A little dated but some sound articles in here (not all ten but enough to make it worth it).
Good book
