2008 Edition McGraw Hill (see description for reason to access the original version)
Grenny, et. al.

There is a 2013 Second Edition this perennial business classic, subtitled The New Science of Leading Change, but SHERPA Institute encourages all readers to use the first edition. The newer version leaves out some profound sections, such as “The Serenity Trap”, and the Six Sources of Influence have less hard-hitting labels.  For example, the motivational social source of influence is reframed from the provocative “Harness Peer Pressure” to “Provide Encouragement”.  The original “Design Rewards and Demand Accountability” becomes “Change Their Economy”. The original version is clear, actionable and does not create a new language in your organization. We also approach the framework of Six Sources of Influence with the last first and take a different route around the framework. This means that we begin with Structural Ability. After all, if your organization does not have the structures in place, how can you begin to enable vital behaviors? Reading the book in the order presented is fine; wee simply have an inverted approach to how we lead organizations through its application.
