Cultural change and leadership

In September 2015 the English title Change Management Adventures was published. I am very happy with this publication, which is full of inspirations, practical advices and ways to realize successful change in organizations. The book contains 28 stories about the practice of organizational change with reflections on the change process and the role of the change agent.

 

Cultural change and leadership

In February 2013 the English title Cultural Change and Leadership in Organizations was published. I am very happy with this publication, which is full of conceptual material, inspiring examples and concrete intervention to realize successful strategic and cultural change in organizations.

Alfons Sauguet, Dean of ESADE Business School: “There is some unique quality in the way Jaap Boonstra has succeeded in bringing together a very rich set of experiences and recreate them against a background of sound ideas and concepts. This book offers inspiration that turns into practical cues for those wanting to manage and change the subtle threads of organizational culture”.

Change management

This summer a new title will be published about change management. The booklet contains 28 short stories based on my own experiences in organizational change. Every story concludes with illustrative and sometimes amusing lessons about change management. The book is in the stage of conceptual development with an attractive lay out and nice drawings. The first reactions of colleagues who have read the manuscript are very enthusiastic.
