My Cs about Michael and Miranda's 4Cs: this book has compelling content, case studies, considered lessons, and provides coherency and clarity. It is first class. A must-read for anyone tasked with leading change. Transforming Organizations is a concrete catalyst for change. * Organizational change management rebel with a cause; author; facilitator; coach; speaker and trainer * Taking constant change and contradiction as givens, Anderson and Jefferson provide an invaluable set of tools - coherence makers - to interrogate, push and organize our thinking and actions toward organizational transformation. Numerous rich and current case examples illustrate not so much why to apply these tools but how to do so effectively. * PhD, Professor of Practice, University of Virginia Darden School of Business; author of Giving Voice To Values * The authors have brilliantly weaved fact, illustrative storytelling, scholarly research, and industry examples to artfully bridge the gap between rhetoric and reality in presenting the challenges of instituting change in organizations that are feverishly working to adapt to the complexities of the post-normal times of the twenty-first century. They've produced a rock solid strategic road map for success in transforming organizations via the 4Cs! * PhD, Associate Professor, Heller College of Business, Roosevelt University (Chicago); Past President, Association of Leadership Educators (2016-2017) *
