A Roadmap for Adaptation and Change

Produktbeschreibung

To create deep change you have to disturb people, or at least risk doing so. Shaking people out of their comfort zones generates the possibility of change and brings out hidden resources that people need to navigate unfamiliar waters. This book is the first comprehensive roadmap of provocation as the essential change leadership tool.

Autorenporträt

Maxime Fern, M.Ed. and Michael Johnstone, PhD., partners in life and work, trained in Psychology, Systems Family Therapy and Human Geography, developed the art of provocation as therapists and then leadership consultants. Stepping into places where others may be too polite to go, they refined provocation at Harvard's Kennedy School as a framework to help others understand and succeed when change and adaptation is the only option. Both authors live in Australia and Italy.
