Kotter is a famous writer, speaker and practitioner, the book was published by Harvard Business School and is praised very highly by many business leaders.

 Leadership Article - Leadership by John Kotter
John Kotter: One, leaders must understand that leadership is not just a job of the person above them in hierarchy.
Two, they need to understand what leadership means in their position.
Drawing that out of people--or maybe a better way to say it is, helping them to draw it out of themselves--and using that to help organizations leap and maneuver, I think is going to be the critical leadership challenge.

 Amazon.com: Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions: Books: John Kotter,Holger ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Kotter presents his framework for an effective corporate change initiative through the tale of a colony of Antarctic penguins facing danger-inspired, perhaps, by today's real-life global warming crisis (or, perhaps, by March of the Penguins' box office).
The logic of Kotter's fictional framework is wobbly at times-his characters live and act very much like real penguins except that one carries a briefcase and another ("the Professor") cites articles from scholarly journals-and the whimsical tone will not be to everyone's taste.
John Kotter replicated that method of instruction with this fun little book, OUR ICEBERG IS MELTING.
