There’s no question that the ability to promote and
manage change in your organization is a leadership
requirement for today’s fast-paced, global economy.
In her book Leading Business Change: A Practical
Guide to Transforming Your Organization Dr. Karin
Stumpf shows leaders not only how they can enable
their employees to commit to change, but how lead-
ers can encourage their employees to feel a sense of
shared ownership in driving that change forward.
Tanveer Naseer

Dr. Stumpf has created a nice, easy-to-remember
change model from her real-world organizational
experiences. She will show you three phases in the
change process—how to mobilize, crusade, and
populate—so that you can lead change successfully
in your organization. In today’s world, one needs to
be a Change Master in order to keep up. Dr. Stumpf’s
book will help you move in that direction.

Because I am a former aviation fghter pilot, con-
verted into a management researcher, the book and
the position of Karin Stumpf spoke to me. To con-
tinue the maritime analogy of the author, I would
say that when situations of change or mergers arise,
managers always fantasize of one day fnding a cove
where they can keep themselves safe from errors
and stress. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately so,
this cove does not exist. Instead managers are given
the ability to understand that they are at the service
of their situation and the people whom they are
responsible for. Thus, being of service becomes the
noblest challenge a captain can undertake. And so,
the captain instinctively understands that the only
way to face the storm is by accepting the waves and
violence. His single mission is to go beyond expecta-
tions and worry about the men and women who are
onboard his ship. This is the strength of this book!
