But, says Michael Fullan—an internationally acclaimed authority on organizational change—we have an increasing understanding of how to tackle complex change. This involves developing a new kind of leader: one who recognizes what is needed to bring about deep and lasting changes in living systems at all levels. These leaders need a deep understanding of what motivates us as human beings and how we tap into and influence other people's self-motivation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003eIn his previous best-selling books \u003ci\u003eThe Six Secrets of Change\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLeading in a Culture of Change\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTurnaround Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Fullan examined the concepts and processes of change. In \u003ci\u003eChange Leader\u003c\/i\u003e he turns his focus to the core practices of leadership that are so vital for leading in today's complex world. He reveals seven core practices for today's leaders, all of which appear to be deceptively simple but actually get to the essence of what differentiates a powerful leader from one who is merely competent:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractice Drives Theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBe Resolute\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMotivate the Masses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCollaborate to Compete\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn Confidently\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKnow Your Impact\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSustain Simplexity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout the book Fullan argues that powerful leaders have built bedrocks of credibility, have learned how to identify the few things that matter most, and know how to leverage their skills in ways that benefit their entire organization.
