Your people aren’t resistant to change. They’re exhausted.
Most organizations treat change as a project. Every few years a new transformation arrives with a kickoff, a new structure and a deadline. People brace, endure it and wait for it to end. Then the next one starts.
Stop Managing Change looks at why this keeps happening. Organizations are set up like buildings: solid, expensive to alter, and a mess every time you renovate. This book shows leaders how to cultivate organizations that work more like ecosystems, adapting all the time to what happens around them and within them, so change stops landing as a disruption.
It draws on more than twenty years of transformation work in over twenty countries. It covers what big bang transformations do to people, what adaptive leaders do differently, and how to start when your organization is already on fire. It also includes the Honest Assessment, a diagnostic for seeing where your organization really stands.
You’ll likely enjoy it if you’ve read Team of Teams, Brave New Work, Humanocracy or Turn the Ship Around!, or if you’ve survived a reorganization or two.
How to request a copy: It is currently free on Kindle Unlimited until December 22, 2026. Or you can send an email to kelly@kellybrogdongeyer.com with "Review Copy" in the subject line and I will send you the PDF.
I welcome an honest review on Goodreads, Amazon or both, whatever your opinion and whenever it suits you. Please mention that you received a free copy.
