This small book by David Sokol holds some interesting perspectives about managing change, from one of Warren Buffett’s chief lieutenants. A lot of focus is placed on the Plan, Execute, Measure, Correct cycle, and after reading this book, it’s very easy to notice the absence of the “Measure, Correct” portion of the cycle in many change initiatives. Too often as leaders, we have a tendency to stick to the plan simply because we are committed to our decisions.
Sokol makes judicious use of personal and business anecdotes to highlight the points he’s making, but doesn’t belabor the reader with too much domain specific detail.
If you can get your hands on a copy, it’s an excellent quick read.
