Leading transformation in teams, businesses, and organizations is complex, and leaders are expected to know how to do it. This book provides the clear thinking required to navigate this challenge.
In Navigate the Swirl: 7 Crucial Conversations for Business Transformation renowned growth and strategy leader Richard Hawkes delivers a simple and powerful framework that any team can apply to overcome the most common leadership challenges to growing and scaling companies, known as "The Swirl." In this straightforward book, he draws on decades of experience guiding teams to implement strategic change at companies like Edward Jones, GENEWIZ, Hitachi, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Mars, and Chicos. In this book you will learn: to understand and lead disruptive change in a complex social system—your company; ways to visualize and diagnose the essential working parts of a company; how to apply an integrated toolset for teams to lead organizational change and business transformation; how to create transformational journey maps that leaders, teams, businesses, and companies must apply to unleash growth potential and agility; and how networks of teams should work together to develop each other's leadership and to manage and accelerate change.
Richard S. Hawkes is the founder of Growth River, an international consultancy that guides leaders and teams to create higher performance in businesses and organizations. Its practical mission is to make high-performing ways of working easier. He works with a variety of companies (including Edward Jones, Genewiz, Hitachi, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Mars) to identify and resolve constraints to success. He sees purpose-driven, customer-focused, team-based, multi-stakeholder businesses as our best bet for solving the big problems.
Mike Cooper is a British voice talent who left big-city life in London for a log cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Mike is recognizable from his years with the BBC World Service, and as the narrator of countless television documentaries. A disruptive influence in school, Mike's first break in narration came at age six, when his teacher realized he could tell the afternoon story better than her (and she could get a nap by way of a bonus). When he's not in his home studio, you'll find him enjoying hobby farm life and tending to two charming pet goats, named Baxter and Hazel.
