Publisher's Synopsis
End Resistance to Change; Create Engaged Employees; Make Change Work
Change management fails 70% of the time. Buy-in is anemic. Resistance is a given. Cost overruns are more common than not. Why can't we do better?
The problem is that our brains evolved to help us survive in dangerous natural environments. Speed in identifying a threat and speed in eliminating it kept us alive. Now, however, our environment is not Mother Nature but each other. A speedy brain is not an asset when we're trying to work together.
"HST" is Harnessing the Speed of Thought, which enables individuals to work together effectively and efficiently. All activities are transparent and each step is agreed to before the next is taken.
The HST Model for Change provides a template that can be used everywhere. It adapts insights from other change approaches including Lean Thinking, sports psychology, coaching, employee engagement and team building.
HST is a straightforward and practical model for organizational change. Readers will be able to design, promote and conduct any size change in all parts and levels of every organization.
Author Bob Brown applies current neurological thinking to reach that most elusive of management goals, getting everyone on the same page.
