In this very personal book, they also share the most important lessons they have learned.To be successful, a transformation process must consider the existing organizational culture. By helping people understand why the transformation is needed, how it bumps up against cultural norms that must change, the importance of everyone's role, and the fact that change is both possible and real, you can tap into the power of commitment.
