Gregory Todd runs a business that makes sofas. He is a good leader and he loves his business. He does not yet know if this will be enough.
Andy Sheppard thought he already knew a thing or two about how organisations worked. He had gained degrees in manufacturing engineering from Cambridge and industrial experience with Shell and Crown Cork. Then he joined McKinsey & Company, where he experienced a transformation in the hands of an unconventional expert. His own expectations were blown out of the water and his direction was set. Since then Andy has specialised in the art of sustainable transformation, which is as much about leadership and managing change as it is about subject-matter expertise. For fifteen years he has been navigating transformations in diverse operations, and training others to do the same. He has crafted this novel as his ideal training aid. It should prove enjoyable and insightful for anyone who longs for their organisation and its culture to burst into life.
