Synopsis

...about this book...

When Zebras Discover Motorbikes: how to influence people, situations and results.

This is a practical journey of discovery, it is not a theoretical exercise!

It shows you how to engage change and get results. Having 'influence' is at the very heart of leadership and the text provides practical tips, hints and techniques that you can use to trigger a change in the approach and performance of you and your team.

It is aimed at those who want to access 'distilled wisdom' in an easy to read book. It has an engaging 'coaching' approach that provokes you to think deeper, see things differently and do different things.

Jonathan Frost, the author, is a sought after coach and has accumulated thousands of coaching hours with leaders and key influencers. He brings a thought-provoking and realistic approach to the topic. With over 20 years experience of coaching leaders at all levels he brings a 'proven' set of tools and advice.

The first half of the book uses the 'Zebra Analogy' to talk about change, how it drives people and how easy it is to 'cope with' as opposed to thrive on. It is a light-hearted parable with profound learning points. The world of the lions is turned upside down when the zebras discover motorbikes and we see some typical responses to the challenge. This is valuable insight for those experiencing change as well as those initiating it.

The second half introduces the '5 Stages of Change' model. This is a powerful tool detailing a logical and consistent method of influencing people to change. It highlights the difference between an awareness of the need for change to an engagement with it. It highlights that 'Progress is a win' and provides a model for persuasive influence.

At the end of each chapter the author has provided some compelling 'thought provokers' that will greatly assist this to be a practical journey of discovery as opposed to an academic exercise.
