Small Change: Natural Truths for Transforming Your Corporate Culture
by Lisa Jackson and Gerry Schmidt,Ph.D.
I have experienced enough change as a leader to see that adaptability is the key to survival/thriving for an individual and a company. Lisa and Gerry’s use of the nature theme in this book is a powerful and highly readable expose on being more adaptable leader in uncertain and challenging times. I read a lot of books on leadership, and learned several new things I can put to use immediately. I enjoyed this book immensely.

In a world of whitewater change and complexity, there is less and less time for massive change initiatives and rollouts. Small Change is a refreshing look at how to lead successfully in such uncertain times – drawing on nine fundamental truths from nature and applying them to organizational culture and change.
The book highlights interesting discoveries and research in fields of advanced Neuroscience, Evolutionary Theory, and Anthropology, as well as their combined 7 decades of experience coaching and training.
At the same time, it is a hard-hitting, truth-telling leadership book filled with interesting stories and practical advice for making change easier and building great cultures.
