For individuals in every walk of life and in every stage of change, this compact, no-nonsense book captures both the heart--and the "how"--of successful change. Organizations are forced to change faster and more radically than ever. How are companies faring in meeting these challenges--and what can we learn from their experiences? In this powerful follow-up book--organized around Leading Change's revolutionary eight-step change process--Kotter and co-author Dan Cohen reveal the results of their research in over 100 organizations in the midst of large-scale change. What they found may surprise you. Although most organizations believe change happens by making people think differently--Kotter and Cohen say the key lies more in making them feel differently. They introduce a new dynamic--"see-feel-change"--that sparks and fuels action by showing people potent reasons for change that charge their emotions. Through true stories from real people, the authors present a play-by-play of challenges encountered, mistakes made, and lessons learned through each of the eight steps of change--and offer tips and tools readers can apply within their own organizations.

How to create a company that not only sustains, but surpasses-that moves beyond the imperative to be "less bad" and embrace an ethos to be "all good" .

From the Inspired Protagonist and Chairman of Seventh Generation, the country's leading brand of household products and a pioneering "good company," comes a one-of-a-kind book for leaders, entrepreneurs, and change agents everywhere. The Responsibility Revolution reveals the smartest ways for companies to build a better future-and hold themselves accountable for the results. Thousands of companies have pledged to act responsibly; very few have proven that they know how. This book will guide them. The Responsibility Revolution presents fresh ideas and actionable strategies to commit your company to a genuine socially and environmentally responsible business and culture, one that not only competes but wins on values.

• Points the way for innovators and influencers to generate trust by becoming transparent, elicit people's passion and creativity, turn customers into collaborators, transform critics into allies, rewrite the rules and reinvent business

• Shows how to build a socially and environmentally responsible yet genuinely good company and an authentic brand

• Drawing on groundbreaking interviews with real-world change leaders, Hollender and Breen present lessons and insights from the "good company"' parts of big companies like IBM and eBay, trailblazers like Patagonia and Timberland, and emerging dynamos like Linden Lab and Etsy

The Responsibility Revolution equips people with the tactics, models, and mind-sets they need to compete in a world where consumers now demand that companies contribute to the greater good.

本書匯集了作者討論人生問題的三次講演,一為“人生十論”,一為“人生三步驟”,一為“中國人生哲學”。作者從中國傳統文化入手,徵諸當今潮流風氣,探論“心”、“我”、“自由”、“命”、“道”等終極問題,而不離人生日常態度,啟發讀者追溯本民族文化傳統的根源,思考中國人在現代社會安身立命的根本。

(摘錄自dangdang.com)


……所論人生皆從中國舊傳統舊觀念闡發,但亦未見其與現時代之新潮流新趨勢有所違背。主要不在稱述古人,乃在求古今之會通和合。讀者淺求之,亦可得當前個人立身處世之要。深求之,則可由此進窺古籍,知得中國古人所講一套道理,仍未與現代局勢有大相反大隔離。做人為學,自信此書皆可以啟其端,為一普通入門書。不分老幼,不分職業,試一閱讀,宜至少在其日常生活上可有益。
