Sacred Cows Make The Best Burgers
by Robert Kriegel and David Brandt

Tackling one of the most important business issues of today, the authors demonstrate why the latest panaceas -- like reengineering -- almost always prove unsuccessful. They expose how these buzzword programs overlook the most fundamental element of all business: people. After all, people are the gatekeepers of change, with the power to breathe life into a new program or kill it. If they're excited and positive, it's open sesame; if they're resistant, they'll slam the door in your face. Getting to the heart of the matter, Kriegel and Brandt show you how to coach yourself and other to create Change-Ready people and Change-Ready organizations.
