The Six Secrets of Change: What the Best Leaders Do to Help Their Organizations Survive and Thrive - hardcover

Praise for The Six Secrets of Change "Fullan has an uncanny ability to produce what is needed at the time it is needed. 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. It is a refreshing change from the surface lists of leadership and change ideas that all too often permeate education and business literature." --Vicki Phillips, director of education, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation "This book simultaneously clarifies, synthesizes, and challenges. Anyone in a management position will find it both very entertaining and full of wisdom." --Sir Michael Barber, former head, Tony Blair's Policy Delivery Unit "The Six Secrets of Change is a must for anyone who thinks about leadership, aspires to be a great leader, or thinks they are already an expert on the subject. Fullan takes on some sacred cows, and advances a remarkable framework for all us who seek 'to be the changes we seek in the world.' Truly and deeply inspirational." --Charles Pascal, executive director, Atkinson Foundation "One of the best books I have read in a long, long time. The Six Secrets of Change is insightful, challenging and authentic. Michael Fullan has a unique ability to bring the theory and practice of leadership together in a way that truly resonates. All those who are grappling with the challenges of leadership in complex organizations should read this book." --Steve Munby, chief executive, National College for School Leadership, England "Michael Fullan is one of the world's leading exponents on managing change. The Six Secrets of Change is a further brilliant contribution. These may be secrets but what is described can be accomplished by leaders at every level." --Brian J. Caldwell, managing director, Educational Transformations Pty. Ltd.
