Kurzbeschreibung

This charming story about a penguin colony in Antarctica illustrates key truths about how deal with the issue of change: handle the challenge well and you can prosper greatly; handle it poorly and you put yourself at risk. The penguins are living happily on their iceberg as they have done for many years. Then one curious penguin discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home - and pretty much no one listens to him. The characters in this fable are like people we recognise, even ourselves. Their story is one of resistance to change and heroic action, confusion and insight, seemingly intractable obstacles and the most clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It is a story that is occuring in different forms around us today - but the penguins handle change a great deal better than most of us. Based on John Kotter's pioneering work on how to make smart change happen faster and better, the lessons you can learn from this short and easy-to-read book will serve you well in your job, in your family, and in your community. And these lessons are becoming ever more important as the world around us changes faster and faster.

3.0 von 5 Sternen Penguins Learn to Stick Their Heads in the Ice Beneath Them, 14. April 2007
Diese Rezension stammt von: Our Iceberg Is Melting (Taschenbuch)

My favorite part of John Kotter's classic, Leading Change, is the cover image of a penguin leaping across a space between two blocks of ice while 10 other penguins look on from the side the penguin leaped from. Here is one case where you can tell the book by its cover.

Obviously, that wonderful image penetrated deeply into the consciousness of Holger Rathgeber in designing this penguin-based version of how a leader might deal with the problem in Who Moved My Cheese? (changing conditions affect survival)? If you miss that connection to Who Moved My Cheese? there's a foreword by Spencer Johnson to make it clearer.

The Emperor Penguins have lived on an iceberg in Antarctica for many years. They planned to always live there. But Fred had a different idea: The iceberg was melting in a way that meant the possibility of a catastrophic collapse in mid-Winter. The rest of the book explores how Fred's knowledge is translated into useful action for the 268 penguins that lived in the colony.

The fable naturally draws on John Kotter's famous eight steps for leading change which I have paraphrased below into seven to make them easier to understand:

1. Get peoples' attention.
2. Establish a change-leading team.
3. Agree on the results you want.
4. Allow needed changes.
5. Show regular progress.
6. Stay focused.
7. Build new habits that will serve you well after the change is done.

Fables are difficult to write. I admire John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber for taking a crack at it.

But if you pay attention to the facts, you'll find that their story doesn't quite make sense. Emperor Penguins live on the pack ice that forms seasonally. As the pack ice retreats, they simply move to the edge. Seldom would they stay on an iceberg. Why? Because the ice breaks up when the youngsters are old enough to swim to the main ice pack. If you read science articles, you'll also learn that what is more likely to threaten a penguin community is that their iceberg drifts into an area where the winter freeze isolates the colony too far from the open sea. The penguins have to walk to the sea rather than dive in to get food.

Also, most icebergs are going to eventually release into warmer seas and melt that way rather than be split by freezing water as described in this book.

If you look at the leadership, it's also very male dominated. The story would be more realistic if it included more male-female interaction.

The problem of survival in the face of the environment seems more akin to what a town council might face in deciding to relocate away from a leaking dam that what a business organization might face.

I could go on, but I'm sure you see the point: A better fable could have been written (even if it had to involve penguins).

I also compared the book to Leading Change and The Heart of Change. Unless you are only able to learn by reading fables, both of those books are much better on this subject.

My suggestion is that you let the iceberg melt and read about how people lead instead in Dr. Kotter's other excellent books.

5.0 von 5 Sternen wonderful fable for managers, 2. Februar 2007
Kotter and Rathgeber team up to tell the story of a colony of penguins who have to face a life-threatening situation: their iceberg is at danger of melting, as one of them - Fred - finds out. It is wonderful to follow their ideas, fears and actions. Beyond being "just" an endearing story, "our iceberg" underlines all the important things that managers need to pay attention to, when caught up in a difficult business situation that requires everyone to change. Being a fable, the story allows for both: seeing things at a distance and yet at the same you are likely to find your co-workers or yourself represented by one of the many penguin characters. Therefore: five stars for telling a not really new story in a totally new and refreshing way. 1 1/2 hours (which is all it takes to read the book) well spend.

3.0 von 5 Sternen Nice but not "The Little Prince" (Saint-Exupery) of the 21st century, 29. Mai 2009
Von Boris Blumberg "Boris" (Wuppertal, Germany) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
(REAL NAME)   
In the foreward Stephan Bachel, General Manager of Eli Lilly in Belgium, states that the book could become "The little prince" written by Saint-Exupery of the 21st century. I largely disagree, this book misses almost everything to become a novel that will still be read in 50 years. The plot of the story, the language used are much to simple to become a master piece of literature. Kotter and Rathgeber are certainly good in their professions, but they are not writers.

Nevertheless, the story is nice and triggers your thoughts on how things can be changed. The main message of the book is (according to me) that convincing people (penguins) to change requires more than rational arguments, you need to touch their emotions. And simple children stories like the one presented are more convincing than piles of scientific evidence. Getting this message I had a worrying afterthought, namely the methods described could also work for to implement changes we do not like.
