I work with multiple companies helping them with their revenue growth management. Obviously, every single client of mine is unique, tells different story and have very distinctive objectives. However, the common denominator is that my role is not to help them attaining their top line growths – but to help them with the transition – with the change.
This is probably the first book I have read, addressing cultural change challenges with so many practical tips and recommendations, full of relations to real situations, I have ever read. It is irrelevant if you are in a startup or enterprise size organization – the author’s observations and recommendations are widely applicable, practical and simple.
This is probably the first time ever, someone gave me so simple, yet compelling definition what the Organizational Culture is and how to successfully work and change the one. The author comes up with a great observation about the Patterns and the role they play and how to break them in such a way, the desired behaviors are going to stay for good.
Highly recommend to all the business owners, corporate management as well as advisors or consultants who need to help their customers on a culture change journey.

AUTHOR BIO
Siobhan McHale has worked across four continents, helping thousands of leaders to create more agile and productive workplaces. She also has been on the “inside” as the executive in charge of culture change in a series of large, multinational organizations. One of these inside jobs was a radical seven-year change initiative at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) Bank that transformed it from the lowest-performing bank in the country into one of the highest-performing and most admired banks in the world. Professor John Kotter used her work with ANZ as a Harvard Business School case study designed to teach MBA students about managing change.

An insightful look into improving "how things work around here"
The ideas and methods in Siobhan’s book are informative, enlightening, and (with some effort, of course) can be embedded into most organizations’ day-to-day workings to bring about cultural improvements.She states early in the book, “if you take care of the culture, results will take care of themselves”, and then guides the reader through the steps of diagnosing culture issues, planning to make improvements, and implementing sustainable change across the entire business – what she calls The Culture Disruptor.I recommend this book for almost anyone who wants their organization to get better, be more efficient, boost engagement, improve products/services and ultimately increase the bottom line. It’s written in an easy-to-read style, with plenty of real-world examples.Add it to your Kindle or Bookshelf today if you want to become a Better Place to Work.

All the chapters are like a journey to create change in the organization, each one is the basis for the next one, an approach that delivers a result of the change in an incremental way, some relevant ones are: "Chapter 4: Diagnosing the current culture", which focuses on diagnosing deeply-embbeded patterns, also "Chapter 6: Take Charge of the Journey " which develops a multiplier and inspiring approach to real leadership within the company at all levels, acting as an engine of change, "Chapter 7: Engage the entire organization” by breaking the pattern and making work meaningful, which is a context-related element and “Chapter 10: Consolidate Gains” which focuses on keeping your foot on the accelerator of change and refining the entire journey within the organization as a habit.
