When Change Comes Undone

by Harvard Business Publishing, Steve Kerr, Diane L. Coutu

The majority of change initiatives fail-and managers are often left to deal with the consequences. What would you do if: your staff turned sour on a new CEO's change plans; a new performance management system demotivated your workforce; or a merger turned the workplace into a battlefield? This guide will help you decide what to do when change initiatives backfire or simply don't work.

Series Description

When facing a difficult management challenge, wouldn't it be great if you could turn to a panel of experts to help guide you to the right decision? Now you can, with books from the Management Dilemmas series. Drawn from the pages of Harvard Business Review, each insightful guide poses a range of familiar and perplexing business situations and shares the wisdom of a small group of leading experts on how each of them would resolve the problem. Engagingly written, these interactive, solutions-oriented collections allow readers to match wits with the experts. They are designed to help managers hone their instincts and problem-solving skills to make sound judgment calls on everyday management dilemmas.
