Yet CEO turnover continues to rise and organizations continue to struggle in their efforts to confront the fearsome adaptive challenges of the global age. \u003ci\u003eEpic Change\u003c\/i\u003e is a path-breaking contribution to the study of leadership and organizational change. Based on a landmark study of 53 cases of large-scale organizational change in business, healthcare, government, education, and the non-profit sector, acclaimed thought leader and researcher, Dr. Timothy R. Clark unveils the \"Power Curve of Change\" framework and EPIC system for change management (Evaluate, Prepare, Implement, Consolidate) for leaders who are charged to lead high-stakes change initiatives in their organizations. \u003ci\u003eEpic Change\u003c\/i\u003e presents a strategic-level road map, along with tactical level tools, for the every-day needs of leaders who must respond to all types of adaptive challenge to remain competitive. It represents a comprehensive, research-based program for leaders who want to develop the indispensable competency of leading change in a permanently and profoundly different age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChange rarely fails for lack of strategy--Clark shows that only the discretionary efforts of people can make change happen--and this requires leadership and energy management. The \u003ci\u003eEpic Change\u003c\/i\u003e approach has been successfully field-tested with leaders at all levels and in organizations around the world. This important resource provides leaders new research-based tools to increase and sustain the energy of any change effort.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEPIC Change\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccelerated change and relentless competition have become permanent characteristics of the global age. The need for all organizations to respond to adaptive challenge is unprecedented. However, leading change, especially large-scale change, is the most formidable challenge in all of leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAny organization's ability to adapt and adjust to shifting demands is really a function of its leaders' capacity to summon and redirect institutional will. \u003ci\u003eEPIC Change\u003c\/i\u003e is the hands-on resource written for any leader who is charged to lead change in a turbulent environment. Based on a landmark study of fifty-three cases of large-scale organizational change, international thought leader and business consultant Timothy R. Clark outlines his path-breaking \u003ci\u003eEPIC Change\u003c\/i\u003e approach, which has been successfully field-tested by leaders around the world. Clark provides a road map for leaders to learn how to pull energy out of an organization in order to respond to disruptive outside forces. The approach combines both strategic and tactical tools to help leaders at all levels get comfortable with uncertainty, live on the edge of chaos, and sustain competitive advantage in the face of endless dynamic changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eEPIC (Evaluate, Prepare, Implement, and Consolidate)\u003c\/b\u003e approach for change management draws on the research-based \"power curve of change.\" As Clark explains, change fails less often for poor strategy or technical difficulty. Rather, it is a leader's inability to draw out the discretionary efforts of people that usually signals failure. The EPIC approach teaches leaders the critical points of leverage for energy management within an organization and offers a comprehensive guide to change leadership--arguably the most critical competency of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEPIC Change\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACCELERATED CHANGE and relentless competition have become permanent characteristics of the global age.
