In an era where leaders have so little time to read, Ian's book, Changing What's Normal, is just what they need - short chapters full of high quality inspiration from someone who is a leader in his own right. He brings together years of experience as a business consultant and leader and captures some of his key experiences in what he calls sparkenations - a spark that ignites passion that leads to action that changes what's normal. Each sparkenation makes a chapter in a book that needs to sit on the desk of every leader, not on a bookshelf. It is one of those books that can be picked up, opened at any page to be inspired in a few minutes and, as he says, have passion ignited. You will, however, want to read it cover to cover. It is, as well, a workbook. It challenges us as the reader to do the work that each sparkenation calls for, to act on the passion that is ignited. Maree Harris, PhD., Director, People Empowered, Inspiring Leadership for Changing Times I strongly recommend this book to people who share a passion for making the world a better place through collaboration, shared values, noble objectives and a desire to get the very best out of the people around them and as a consequence out of themselves.
