Who killed Change in your organization? Ask a Columbo-style detective


Perhaps like you, I have read a lot of fiction in my school and college days. But, I don't remember reading fiction ever since I got my first job some 23 years ago. Having read Who Moved My Cheese? cover to cover, I thought business novels were an exception. But I couldn't repeat that success with Ken Blanchard's Who Killed Change? I did read chapter #1, but quickly moved to check the last chapter. Well, that reflects my personal disposition and therefore your experience could be different.

In Who Killed Change?, detective McNally is on a case: the murder of Change. He interviews 15 suspects including Ms Culture, Mr Sponsorship, and Ms Budget. And the detective's final announcement is: "all of you killed Change."

Who killed the last Change initiative in your organization?
