Reviews for That´s Not How We Do It Here!: A Story About How Organizations Rise, Fall - and Can Rise Again
Kotter and Rathgeber's ability to impart clear lessons via fable is as strong as ever
TD Magazine
John Kotter does it again. His use of metaphor helps readers distill down to the fundamental requirements for a high-performing organization: tapping the hearts and minds of team members in service to a compelling purpose. Leadership enables this, and in doing so unlocks tremendous creativity and potential.

It works. And not just for meerkats.
Gaetan Thomas, NB Power president and CEO
A meerkat falling prey to the unexpected attack of a vulture doesn't keep many leaders up at night. But the unanticipated assault of new competitor, or a fundamental shift in the operating environment, can evoke an almost paralyzing fear in the most successful organizations. This simple parable of furry mammals facing the challenge of adapting to threat offers real insights into the journey so many of us must make. Brilliant!
General Stanley McChrystal, author of TEAM OF TEAMS and co-founder of the McChrystal Group
This remarkable parable shows us how we re safer in changing times when we innovate!
