Our Iceberg Is Melting

John Kotter, emeritus professor at Harvard Business School, is widely regarded as the world's finest authority on leadership and transformation. His numerous books, including Leading Change and That's Not How We Do It Here!, have been translated into over 200 foreign language editions and are international best-sellers. He founded Kotter International, a consulting firm that focuses on assisting executives in transforming their organizations.

Holger Rathgeber, coauthor of That's Not How We Do It Here!, is a principal at Kotter International and a former executive at a medical products firm.

Our Iceberg Is Melting is a straightforward narrative about dealing with the stress and uncertainty of fast change. It can help you and your colleagues flourish during difficult times because it is based on the award-winning work of Harvard Business School's John Kotter.

A flock of gorgeous emperor penguins dwell on an iceberg on the coast of Antarctica, as they have for many years. Then a curious bird discovers a potentially disastrous danger affecting their home—and nearly no one pays attention to him.

The story's characters—Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo—are likely people you know from your own organization, including yourself. Their story is one of opposition to change and heroic action, seemingly insurmountable obstacles and ingenious solutions to those challenges. As we all strive to adjust to new circumstances, the penguins provide an inspiring paradigm.

Our Iceberg Is Melting is based on John Kotter's groundbreaking study into the eight phases that can bring about required change in any type of group. After you finish the story, you'll have a strong framework for influencing your own team, no matter how large or little.

The text of the timeless story is preserved in this tenth anniversary edition, along with new drawings, a rewritten afterword, and a Q&A with the writers on the responses they've received over the previous decade. Prepare to be both enlightened and delighted, whether you're a long-time fan or experiencing it for the first time.
