We know a lot about change leadership. We understand how to design change programmes, and we know how to prescribe best practice change methods. Yet, despite all this knowledge, it is reported that up to 70% of change leadership projects fail to realize many of their objectives. The fault lines are cited as occurring at the
micro
level of social interaction.
What we don’t adequately explain and demonstrate within the change leadership literature is
how
change leaders may
consciously generate
in themselves and in others
resourceful
mindsets, emotions, attitudes, and behaviours to enable positive change leadership dynamics.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming for Change Leaders: The Butterfly Effect
fills this gap by connecting the practices of
personal development
with those of
corporate change leadership
.
This book has the vision of advancing NLP as a serious technology in the change leader’s tool box. The book introduces to operations managers, HR practitioners, OD specialists, and students of management new ideas and practices, which can transform their effectiveness as change leaders.
It focuses on the benefits of applied NLP to change leaders as a generative change toolkit. Secondly, the book provides a model that shows change leaders how to build a climate of psychological safety to establish rapport with stakeholders. Thirdly, the book provides a strategy for enabling broader cultural change and stakeholder engagement throughout the organization.
