If you are a change leader or simply interested in the topic, this is a must-read. ... I have a lot of faith in Karin Stumpf's book, as it is written based on her previous experience working for some of the top-notch consulting companies this planet has to offer. -Navid Nazemian, Global HR Business Partner, Roche, Switzerland Karin Stumpf has captured the challenges and the trade-offs integral to today's dynamic organizational changes. She also presents solutions which are, in general, broadly applicable, but go much beyond the mere mundane and the cookie cutter recipes. -Sam N. Basu PhD, CMA, Professor, Economics, Finance, and Global Business, Cotsakos College of Business, William Paterson University Leading Business Change is an excellent book for people managers and leaders who want to understand how the theory applies in everyday life when dealing with change-management challenges. It saves you a lot of 'trial and error' mistakes and therefore truly boosts your transformation process and your development towards a true change master. -Luca Bitonto, Head of Learning and Organizational Development, eBay Dr. Stumpf has created a nice, easy-to-remember change model from her real-world organizational experiences. She will show you three phases in the change process-how to mobilize, crusade, and populate-so that you can lead change successfully in your organization. In today's world, one needs to be a change master in order to keep up. Dr. Stumpf's book will help you move in that direction. -James G. Clawson, Johnson & Higgins Professor of Business, The Darden School, University of Virginia This book is based on Karin's common sense paired with her vast experiences in supporting organizations with their change processes. In fact, it's an easy-to-read forceful resource and it's useful for all those dealing with change in an organization. -Roberto Wittlin, Change Manager, AXA Winterthur Because I am a former aviation fighter pilot, converted into a management researcher, the book and the position of Karin Stumpf spoke to me. To continue the maritime analogy of the author, I would say that when situations of change or mergers arise, managers always fantasize of one day finding a cove where they can keep themselves safe from errors and stress. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately so, this cove does not exist. Instead managers are given the ability to understand that they are at the service of their situation and the people whom they are responsible for. Thus, being of service becomes the noblest challenge a captain can undertake. And so, the captain instinctively understands that the only way to face the storm is by accepting the waves and violence. His single mission is to go beyond expectations and worry about the men and women who are on board his ship. This is the strength of this book! -Dominique Steiler, Director, Personnel and Managerial Development Centre, Grenoble There's no question that the ability to promote and manage change in your organization is a leadership requirement for today's fast-paced, global economy. In her book Leading Business Change, Dr. Karin Stumpf shows leaders not only how they can enable their employees to commit to change, but how leaders can encourage their employees to feel a sense of shared ownership in driving that change forward. -Tanveer Naseer, Award-Winning Leadership Coach, Speaker and Writer Business leaders and change practitioners will certainly benefit from Karin's approach to organizational change. She draws a meaningful picture of today's leadership challenges and proposes a simple and practical framework to address the impact of the human and organizational reactions during change initiatives. -Carole Levesque, Director, Change Management and Organizational Transformation, Bombardier Aerospace
