The Art of Transformational Leadership
A #1 Best-Seller by Jeff Evans, Ph.D
What makes one person stand out in such a way that others are moved by them? What defines such a leader? What sort of leader sustains others on a daily basis? At the core of the most powerful leaders is presence – or that indefinable yet palpable feeling that others experience around them. It is their interesting difference, the angularity of their approach, a continually positive and constructive sense of the world, or just a totally different slant they put on situations. However you describe it, leaders have it. You know when they walk in the room. When they talk, people listen.
Now, combine that leadership presence with a profound connection to individual purpose and the people around them. Add a willingness to assertively put this purpose into the world, communicate it, and support others in their efforts.
Inspirational Presence is the ability to connect authentically with others; to use your thoughts, feelings, and intuitions to inspire others towards your cause.

Much has been written about organizational change. The ability for an organization to successfully change and sustain the change is a key differentiator today's competitive world. I found this book was "manager friendly". I could quickly review the "Points to Remember" and "Common Trip Points" as listed in each task to ensure our team was focused on the right things. The Ten Tasks of Change is a ideal book to simplify every leader's most complex issue: change.

Jeff Evans and Chuck Schaefer have created an excellent and multifaceted tool for anyone dealing with change. The authors have done a remarkable job anchoring this approach in well researched and time tested theories, without overwhelming the user in the acedemics, and thus losing site of the real purpose, the need for a powerful, practical tool that transcends the challenging paradox of change. Thanks for capturing the approach that I have felt has been missing thoughout my 20 year career - the nexus of theory and application - in a clear and understandable form. I am glad someone finally wrote the book - and I wouldn't change a thing!
