Choosing Change: How Leaders and Organizations Drive Results One Person at a Time
by Walter McFarland, Susan Goldsworthy
Overview
A powerful new model for driving positive change in any business
In Choosing Change, two renowned leaders in the field of organizational change teach business leaders how to create “change leaders” and change-focused companies—a two-pronged approach that has been proven effective.
Part One leverages cutting-edge thinking from psychology, neuroscience, and executive development to provide real, actionable help in the creation of a 21st century change leader. Part Two explores organizational theory, management, and organizational learning to provide real and actionable help in creating a new kind of change-focused organization that integrates change into organizational DNA.
Walter McFarland is 2013 Chairman of ASTD and a consulting executive focused on the leadership of large scale organizational change. He is a former Senior Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton.
Susan Goldsworthy is a Master International Coach, author, and former Olympic finalist. She teaches and speaks internationally on the topics of executive development, leadership, and change.
