Praise for EPIC Change
"This book, born of solid research and extensive consulting experience, convincingly shows that the new global forces of today represent the new challenge, demanding a new response, which every leader, every organization, and every culture must be transformed into. Clark's analysis surrounding the leadership of the systems approach to the four EPIC stages is comprehensive, immensely practical, engaging, and transforming of the culture at each stage in making the new strategies and initiatives work. Absolutely brilliant material!"
-Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
"Dr. Clark's EPIC Change is a neo-classic.?It is a marvelous synthesis and extension of theory and practice about individual and organizational change. The steps of Evaluation, Preparation, Implementation, and Consolidation offer a road map for successful change. The book is filled with ideas, tools, and examples that will guide any manager through the demands of making change happen."?
-Dave Ulrich, professor, University of Michigan; partner, the RBL Group
"Only rarely does someone who has something profound to say know how to say it in a way that is both engaging and understandable-no matter the complexity of the topic. Dr. Clark possesses this rare skill and much to our advantage turns it on the challenge of creating EPIC change. If you're facing a complex, turbulent, and upending world-and you most certainly are-this book is for you."
-Kerry Patterson, author, Crucial Conversations
"A must-read for all leaders-Tim narrows down the success criteria of leading an organization through change, which, in today's environment, means any organization. His examples and guidance have helped our organization go successfully through some pretty dramatic changes- keeping an eye on Tim's recommendations has been invaluable in ensuring success and has been a road map for the members of our team."
-Olivier Poirot, CEO, Accor North America and Motel 6
"EPIC Change calls attention to the main role of a leader, which is to lead change, and it provides an effective process for performing this role."
-Regina Camargo, president, Across Recrusos, São Paulo, Brazil
