Sudden Impact on the Job

Your Handbook for Creating Sudden Impact on the Job! "Sudden Impact dispels the notion that leadership change dictates broad organizational disruption as a consequence. Quandt uniquely demonstrates through leaders' own stories how they sense the rhythm of an organization and improvise for success based on the unique context of each organization. A must?read for any aspiring leader." --Denise Rousseau, outgoing president, Academy of Management; HJ Heinz II Professor of Organizational Behavior and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University "When you're about to start in a new leadership position, the last thing you need is a formulaic, cookbook approach with someone dictating what you must do. Instead, it is much more productive and infinitely more enjoyable to learn the experiences of those who have come before you and adapt the lessons to your unique situation. That's what Sudden Impact is all about. If you believe in learning from the very best business leaders, then read this book." --James M. Citrin, senior director, Spencer Stuart; coauthor, You're in Charge, Now What? "Sudden Impact shows how great leaders can make a great difference--fast! Great 'real?world' examples that apply to all levels of management. Great coaching for new leaders!" --Marshall Goldsmith, leading executive coach; University Professor at Alliant International University's Marshall Goldsmith School of Management Executives featured in Sudden Impact on the Job include: Jay Amato - Viewpoint Stephanie Burns - Dow-Corning Jamie Dimon - JP Morgan Chase Peter Dolan - Bristol-Myers Squibb Dave Dorman - AT&T Jeffrey Joerres - Manpower Andrew Liveris - Dow Chemical Dick Notebaert - Qwest John Parker- American Culinary ChefsBest Irene Rosenfeld - Frito-Lay Pat Russo - Lucent Technologies Stephanie Streeter - Banta Dave Vander Zanden - School Specialty Ed Zander - Motorola
