Ring in the Rubble Find the Golden Opportunity Within Every Change

(Flap Copy) Change is the great equalizer. Organizations that view change as an opportunity and aggressively seek to find and capitalize on it, win. Those that don't fall behind and are doomed to forever play catch-up. In The Ring in the Rubble, change and leadership authority Gary Bradt shows that change always creates hidden opportunities-a leader's job is unearthing them. He reveals the secrets to moving beyond the rubble of disruption, fear, and uncertainty that change often creates to finding the golden ring of opportunity that always lies beneath. Each chapter of this breakthrough book delivers a powerful principle for leading change, supported by engaging real-life experiences of the author and other well-known business executives that illustrate how to put the principles into action. Bradt also asks penetrating questions to help you "dig deeper" and pinpoint the best ways for applying the lessons to your specific change situation. You'll discover how Richard Schulze weathered a devastating event that threatened to destroy everything he'd worked so hard to build-and became the founder of Best Buy in the process. You'll see how a 65-year-old man, having suffered a string of disastrous setbacks and nearly broke, simply refused to give up-and dug through the rubble once again for the ring. This was Colonel Harland Sanders, whose image remains the marketing face of Kentucky Fried Chicken to this day. Inspirational stories combined with Bradt's tools for self-examination make The Ring in the Rubble a uniquely practical, motivational guide to winning against all odds. Change itself doesn't dictate the eventual outcome of your situation; how you think about and handle change is what makes all the difference. You'll never find the ring if you don't start digging!
