The book Changing Your Company from Inside Out talks about how we can advocate changes inside our
organizations using the lessons from social movements. Apparently, the insights
from social movements are really applicable to our organizational settings when it comes to advocacy of changes.
What I really like about this
book is that it gives the readers a blueprint on how to use lessons from social
movements such as the Arab Spring in how one can advocate changes in the
organization. This book is unique since it stresses a different kind of change.
It primarily talks about the things that an organization can do to its
community. Certainly this book achieves its goal of providing actionable insights from what is happening in our society at large to the change initiatives inside companies.
Another reason why anyone who
loves reading about businesses should buy this book is the way the ideas are
conveyed. The authors provided a clear and concise explanation aside from the convincing evidence of their case. The arguments are well thought out and, more
importantly, relevant to what is happening in our society.
The format and illustration is
also well laid out. I’ve seen two to three illustrations that helped make the
ideas more alive. The tables are also very helpful in conveying the message to
the readers.
Overall, I recommend that you
buy this book if you are contemplating of making some changes inside your
organization and you feel helpless since you do not know what to do. The book
is full of examples on how ordinary people can start a movement by using the
ubiquitous social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
