Kotter presents an easy to read parody of change management as
presented in his more scholarly book "Leading Change." A useful book
for pastors to visualize how the context surrounding a church can cause
a church to resist change. It also provides the steps for an organization
or church to effect needed change to re-energize and grow.
The Simple Discipleship logo was designed before the author
came upon the book "Brand Simple," but it was God's
providence that the SD design included all of the qualities and
steps suggested in "Brand Simple." It is an easy read with easy
to apply principles. Look for a SD White Paper coming soon to
this page. It is a useful tool as your church designs a new logo
around their new discipleship process.
This is Kotter's scholarly book "Leading Change." It provides proven
steps for an organization or church to effect needed change to
re-energize and grow. Kotter presents eight steps that are most useful
for change in the business sector. Simple Discipleship provides a
twelve-step process that is more useful for churches as it includes steps
to increase spiritual and relational vitality to insure success and growth.
Three writers of the book provide a proven process for leading
congregational change. Their insight is included in the Simple
Discipleship 12-step startup process. "Leading Congregational Change"
is valuable reading for the pastor or associational leader who wants to
help churches revitalize.
Ken Blanchard hit a home run with this book. In
parody form he illustrates the key elements of
change management and how they work (or don't
work) together. This is great companion book with
"Our Iceberg is Melting."
