Bare Bones Change Management: What you shouldn't not do takes a radically different approach (read: realistic approach) to the usual business change management fare. From the first page you get reality: when employees resist change, it isn't because they're stupid. It's because they're smart.
It's the book that covers all seven critical tools for managing business change: Stakeholder analysis, involvement, metrics, structure, training, culture, and communication.
And it's by Bob Lewis, the author you know you can trust to give you techniques you can put to work as soon as you've finished reading about them.
Project management is hard work. It requires diligence, attention to detail, political adroitness, and the ability to survive being pecked to death by ducks.
And there you are, volunteered to manage a project, even though you’ve never received any training in the discipline, by a manager who also lacks the tiniest shred of an idea of what it takes to successfully manage a project.
This highly readable, color-coded 36" x 24" poster reveals all the complex interrelationships among the human, process, technology, structural and cultural factors that drive IT organizational performance.
Foreword by Computerworld's Frank Hayes (Columnist, "Frankly Speaking")
A radical redefinition of how IT organizations should operate internally and integrate into the enterprise, disguised as 13 highly practical suggestions for working CIOs.
Are you ready for a leadership book that makes no attempt to inspire you? A book that gives you practical techniques you can use every day instead of lecturing you about the importance of being a good person? That leaves the empty platitudes behind and replaces them with specific actions you can take to become a more effective leader?
If you subscribe to Keep the Joint Running, you look forward to the new episode of ManagementSpeak that appears each week at the beginning of the column. If you don’t … welcome to the wonderful world of management euphemism, obfuscation, and just plain strange elocution.
