More quotes by John P. Kotter
Never underestimate the power of a good story.
John P. Kotter
We see, we feel, we change.
John P. Kotter
Leadership is different from management, but not for the reasons most people think.
John P. Kotter
If the culture you have is radically different from an 'experiment and take-risk' culture, then you have a big change you going to have to make - and no little gimmicks are going to do it for you.
John P. Kotter
Good communication is not just data transfer. You need to show people something that addresses their anxieties, that accepts their anger, that is credible in a very gut-level sense, and that evokes faith in the vision.
John P. Kotter
Managers are trained to make incremental, programmatic improvements. They aren't trained to lead large-scale change.
John P. Kotter
Good communication does not mean that you have to speak in perfectly formed sentences and paragraphs. It isn't about slickness. Simple and clear go a long way.
John P. Kotter

John P. Kotter
Leadership produces change. That is its primary function
John P. Kotter

John P. Kotter
People change what they do less because they are given an analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings.
John P. Kotter
Anyone in a large organization who thinks major change is impossible should probably get out.
John P. Kotter
Leadership is about coping with change
John P. Kotter
No vision issue today is bigger than the question of efficiency versus some combination of innovation and customer service.
John P. Kotter
Tradition is a very powerful force.
John P. Kotter
A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent.
John P. Kotter
