The Deep End of Leadership:

A Professional Practice Guide for Leading Change

The Deep End ... where the water is deeper, the challenges more pronounced, and the risks more profound. A place where even seasoned Organizational Leaders can find themselves stretched to navigate the dynamic reality of CHANGE.

For established leaders, being tasked with developing and leading a broadly-based change initiative in their organizations is daunting; for newer and aspiring leaders, that prospect can be paralyzing. Fortunately, our understanding of how leaders can successfully navigate intentional change has grown considerably in the last two decades, and our ability to guide and support leaders at all levels in leading successful change initiatives has evolved to meet these challenges.

In this book, Dr. Ron Sept, a seasoned leader of large-scale change initiatives and a life-long student of change leadership, offers a comprehensive and decidedly practical guide that can provide change leaders with a framework of knowledge, skills, and professional practice approaches to help them plan and implement a significant organizational change. This concise professional practice guide is intended to offer leaders a step-by step path towards a workable Change Plan that anticipates and provides a navigational guide to get you past the challenges that change has to offer and moving towards improved organizational outcomes and performance.

You and your leadership colleagues are invited to wade into the waters of change well-equipped with the concrete and practice-tested approaches provided in this work. May your efforts be well-rewarded!

If Leadership is The Deep End of Management ... then CHANGE is certainly the Deep End of Leadership.
