Teaching the Elephant to Dance: Empowering Change in Your Organization

According to James Belasco, too many organizations are like elephants: the only way to move them is to light a fire in the tent. Teaching the Elephant to Dance lights that fire, showing step by step how to create organizational change by selling a vision, hiring the right people, creating heroes, dealing with doubters, setting examples, and rewarding the faithful. The book makes its case by citing examples of strategies successfully used in companies such as Levi Strauss, Sony, Apple, Wal-Mart, and IBM.
