RECOMMENDED READING
The CEO’s Toolbox to
Organizational Transformation


 
By Erica Wasserman
eBulletin Editor
Frost & Sullivan

Change is good. And it is possible in virtually any business environment. That’s what author Chris Dawson shares in this comprehensive guide to organizational culture.

Whether you’re an experienced leader looking for a competitive edge or new at the helm, charged with transforming an organization from a straggler to a leader, you’ll value this book for its revealing look at how culture can be shaped to create long term, sustainable value.

The underlying premise of this title: Culture—or more appropriately, culture-change—is often under-utilized by leaders, regardless of their company’s size, industry or location. However, any strategic initiative can be either accelerated or delayed by the culture that currently exists.

Insightful and inspiring, Dawson provides the reader with a full exploration of a variety of cultures and helps “diagnose” troubling situations. With viewpoints spanning a plethora of industries, he presents real life case studies and take-away lessons from top leaders.

You’ll learn:

       •  How other organizations have used strategy to align their current
          culture with their preferred culture

       •  To Identify the four essential competencies needed to foster
          change in your organization

       •  The three most common types of culture change scenarios and key
          recommendations for success from those who have attained it

With more than 25 years of experience, the author is qualified to touch on several disciplines that converge on the topic of culture change; everything from psychology to organizational behavior to strategy management and more are explored.

How, when and where should a CEO be involved in the culture change process? With this practical guide, any business leader will gain confidence and clarity when faced with these questions.
