In Our Iceberg is Melting, a simple fable about penguins encapsulates vital truths about embracing change and illustrates how adaptability can yield prosperity, while resistance can lead to peril, in an ever-changing world.
What if everything you knew was about to change?
For generations, a penguin colony thrived on their iceberg - until one brave, curious mind uncovers a looming catastrophe. His desperate pleas for action are met with the all-too-human resistance to anything new.
Our Iceberg Is Melting provides a powerful guide for navigating personal and professional transformation. Through relatable characters, this fable illuminates human nature, the challenge of resistance, and the incredible power of collective action. It is a story that is occurring in different forms around us today - but the penguins handle change a great deal better than most of us.
Drawing on John Kotter's renowned insights, this concise book equips you with the wisdom to drive faster, smarter change in your work, family and community - essential in today's relentless world.
This special tenth anniversary edition features new and improved illustrations and a foreword by Spencer Johnson, author of Who Moved My Cheese?
