The Six Secrets of Change

ebook
From bestselling author Michael Fullan, wisdom for thriving in today's complex environment

Successful organizations adjust quickly and intelligently to shifts in consumer tastes, political climate, and economic opportunity. How do they do it?

Fullan draws on his acclaimed work in bringing about large-scale and substantial change in education reform in both public school systems and universities, as well as engaging in major change initiatives internationally.

The six secrets are based in theory, grounded in practice, powerful in their relationship to each other, and described in ways that enable deep understanding.
