by Tim Kotnour (Author), Roy D. Bridges (Author)

Transformations are hard.

Especially when everything around you is on fire.

Your organization is in crisis. Pressure from your boss. Rumblings from stakeholders. Demands from stockholders. Disruptions in the marketplace. Deeply frustrated staff and workforce who need to be heard and respected. Who need their dignity. Who need your leadership. Where do you begin?

If you're in the middle of a transformation, your days are chaotic. You have one foot in the old business model and the other foot in the new one, trying to incorporate it into the daily work of running your business. It feels like both feet are being held to the fire. Meanwhile, your world is burning.
