Cute book with a strong message

I used this for my work team and everyone read it and passed it along. Each person kept trying to figure out which penguin they were.

Be in control of your own destiny.

Make no mistake...if you are asked to read this book or "Where's My Cheese?", you can expect some drastic changes in your organization. It's management's way of preparing people for these events.

This change will be in the form of restructuring, layoffs, budget cuts, position eliminations, and anything else associated a "crisis".

You, the reader, also need to make your own choices based on the information available to you and I don't believe this is sufficiently covered in the book. Ultimately, you need to decide for yourself if a different career path or retirement is the best course of action for yourself and your family...and not blindly buying in to the vision of the current management.

Fantastic tool to drive transformational change

Kotter did a fantastic job translating his proven change management process into a format that leaders can understand and use. Through his powerful fable, Kotter tells the story about the phases of leading change and helps us anticipate the roadblocks along the journey. Very well done. Love the useful tools and tips on the website that support it as well...ouricebergismelting.com

Better for corporations

This was a simple way of understandng the complexities of a changing market and changing environments. It is geared towards management in larger companies. Entrepreneurs of smaller companies will find it less useful.

Such a great change management teaching tool

Just about evey kind of situation you might encounter managing change in a big company exists in this easy to read book. Makes a great team building exercise having everyone read the book, then discuss all the different personalities one must work with in any change management situation.

Most of the denizens of the Antarctic penguin colony sneer at Fred, the quiet but observant scout who detects worrying signs that their home, an iceberg, is melting. Fred must cleverly convince and enlist key players, such as Louis, the head penguin; Alice, the number two bird; the intractable NoNo the weather expert; and a passle of school-age penguins if he is to save the colony.Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons.Our Iceberg Is Melting is at once charming, accessible and profound; a treat for virtually any reader.
