Em S.: I had to get this for a class, which is never fun. It was an easy read, however, and the stories keep it entertaining. I've taken org change classes before so nothing was all that ground breaking, but it is a good foundational book that is written in a way that will keep the reader's attention. There are many, very short, stories that put ideas into perspective.

Urmila Kandha (Naidu): I read John Kotter's book - "Our Iceberg is Melting". It was an absolutely fantastic read that made me search for more books by Kotter and I ordered this book. Kotter's expertise on change management and the art of storytelling are unparalled. Such an engaging book that so well draws our the commonly overlooked principles of change management in organizational crevises, this book provides very valuable and compelling insights to drawn on and learn. I found this book immensely compelling and stimulating to an extent that I implemented some of the principles and finished authoring my first book - "Essentials of Agile Transformation", where I have officially acknowledged Kotter's writings and advices.

Richard: I did not read the original but read this for an Master's Organizational Change class. This book is amazing. Very well written with practical stories that reinforce the 8 step change process and why most change initiatives don't work. Service oriented change versus metric driven change is the real prize. If you have anything to do with change management this is a must read. For the price this book has trumped the $100 textbook on Organizational Change I also had to read. Read it, pass it on, and start changing the right way.

Jim L. Battin: The book is a great follow-up to Kotter's best selling book, Leading Change. He emphasizes the behavior changes required to make each of eight stages come alive in a See-Feel-Change model versus a traditional view of Analysis-Think-Change.
With this latest book, The Heart of Change, the author provides powerful stories to make the point that emotion plays a more powerful role in making change than most of us have been taught or know how to apply. In each chapter, suggestions are made on how to make this transition.
For those are in the throes of a major change effort in their organization, this is must reading that provides a fresh view of how to insert energy back into the process of change. I highly recommend the book.

Dave Kinnear: In this book Kotter explains how people change less because they are given analysis and facts about why change is needed and more because we show them a truth that influences their feelings. This concept is not adopted by all those writing on change management. Yet it is a concept that does fit with my experience. Unless the facts, figures, and general information presented by those wanting to effect change is compelling enough to generate the feelings that change is a requirement, then change will not happen. Kotter puts it this way: See, Feel, Change. So the information and analysis must be geared toward the "seeing," and the "feeling" in order to prompt people to change. If we do not actively pursue the task of driving necessary change, change management becomes an oxymoron - change forced upon us becomes chaos and we do not manage the change, it manages us.
One of the things I enjoyed most about reading this book was the clear and logical layout with the interesting web-page navigation graphics. Also the case studies from "real life" gave practical examples of what successful change might look like in our companies. His eight steps to successful change are: 1. Increase...
