John P. Kotter, America's Number One "leadership guru", in his latest remarkable book Our Iceberg is Melting takes us all on to a beautiful journey to a penguin colony in Antarctica to experiment the importance of continuing change as we evolve in life, as persons in private and as managers.
Using a very smooth and playful style, Professor Kotter speaks to all of us through Fred's mouth. He speaks for the need to be alert and ready to leave behind our old patterns, habits, and behaviors if we are to survive in this turbulent, continuously changing, and sometime hostile environment. In the eyes of the little emperor penguins we recognize ourselves, our friends, our colleagues, our partners, in a world we are experiencing in our every day transactions. This little book is a remarkable companion to all fellow passengers in the never-ending journey towards The Great Change.

From the publisher
Most of the denizens of the Antarctic penguin colony sneer at Fred, the quiet but observant scout who detects worrying signs that their home, an iceberg, is melting. Fred must cleverly convince and enlist key players, such as Louis, the head penguin; Alice, the number two bird; the intractable NoNo the weather expert; and a passle of school-age penguins if he is to save the colony.
Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons.
Our Iceberg Is Melting is at once charming, accessible and profound; a treat for virtually any reader.

As a result of the book and my sharing it with a few people in the organization, we have moved quickly on several fronts. We are galvanized to go ahead instead of further studying, more organizing and so on. It is making a difference for us. |

This is the easiest to read yet most informative book I have ever seen. Setting one of management's biggest challenges, 'what problem, I don't see a problem,' in the context of a melting iceberg and a determined penguin, was a stroke of sheer genius. |

I used this book as a part of a book study with the senior staff at my company. It was very useful in setting the stage for discussions of how our business must change over the next 6 months. I encourage its use also with staff who are facing change. |

Congratulations for the simple and pleasant way you've found to talk about such a complex and deep subject.
The book caught my attention in a way that I could not wait to finish it. It's easy to read and makes you crave for "what kind of creative solution Fred will provide to the penguin colony?" Alice is fantastic: objective and fast. And what about the Head Penguin? I simply loved the way he got the message out to the colony, telling them who they really are! And you know what? At that point, this chapter also touched me not only professionally but also in a personal way. Who you really are is deep and made me think a lot about it. |
