Welcome to Litsy!

A new edition of the classic business parable that has sold more than a million copies since 2006. Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple fable about doing well in an ever-changing world. Based on the award-winning work of Harvard�s John Kotter, it is a story that has been used to help thousands of people and organizations. The fable is about a penguin colony in Antarctica. A group of beautiful emperor pen�guins live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home�and pretty much no one listens to him. The characters in the story, Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo, are like people we recognize�even ourselves. Their tale is one of resistance to change and heroic action, seemingly intractable obstacles and the most clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It�s a story that is occurring in different forms all around us today�but the penguins handle the very real challenges a great deal better than most of us. Our Iceberg Is Melting is based on pioneer�ing work that shows how Eight Steps produce needed change in any sort of group. It�s a story that can be enjoyed by anyone while at the same time providing invaluable guidance for a world that just keeps moving faster and faster. From the Hardcover edition.
