Books Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions  by John Kotter (Author), Holger Rathgeber (Author)

"Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions" by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber is a fable about a colony of emperor penguins living on an iceberg in Antarctica. The story centers on Fred, a curious penguin who discovers that their iceberg is melting and at risk of falling apart. He and his leaders must convince the colony to take action and adapt to this changing reality.

The book illustrates John Kotter’s 8-step process for successful change management:

Create a sense of urgency – communicate the problem to motivate action.

Form a powerful guiding team – assemble a group with authority and credibility.

Develop a clear vision and strategy for change.

Communicate the vision frequently and persuasively.

Empower others to act on the vision by removing obstacles.

Generate short-term wins to build momentum.

Consolidate gains and produce more change.

Anchor new approaches in the culture to make them last.
