What (or Who) Kills Change in Your Organization?

The new book Who Killed Change?, co-authored by Ken Blanchard, John Britt, Pat Zigarmi, and Judd Hoekstra, hits bookstore shelves on May 26.   Written in a fun, who-done-it murder mystery style, the book follows the investigation of the death of Change in the large ACME organization.  Readers follow along as a hard-boiled detective (known only as Agent) questions each of the suspects including Budget, Sponsorship, and Aligned Leadership. 

Has a change initiative ever “died” in your organization?  Who would you point to as the likely suspects?  Take our poll below, and also leave a comment and let us know about the biggest killers of change you’ve experienced.

    Hi

    Just finished reading the book, I bought while at holidays in India. Excellent work and describes my present situation where I was brought to change the way we do our marketing of services, but i am cornered, not killed yet. I know one day, i will be killed and that day is not far. I am going to give the book to my boss, who brought me, the so called change but never sponsored me.

    Thanks for writing this wonderful book, I have also learned a lot and will again try to launch the change, lets see if the culture of NO in my organisation supports it.
