After years of steady growth, a drought has sharply reduced the clan's resources, and deadly vulture attacks have increased. As things keep getting worse, the har­mony of the clan is shattered. The executive team quarrels about possible solutions, and sugges­tions from frontline workers face a soul-crushing response: \"That's not how we do it here!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo Nadia, a bright and adventurous meerkat, hits the road in search of new ideas to help her trou­bled clan.

But not everything in this small clan is as perfect as it seems at first. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCan Nadia figure out how to combine the best of both worlds--a large, disciplined, well-managed clan and a small, informal, inspiring clan--before it's too late? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book distills Kotter's decades of experi­ence and award-winning research to reveal why organizations rise and fall, and how they can rise again in the face of adversity.","brand":"Portfolio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944251228391,"sku":"9780399563942","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_25b652f1-1bfb-46fc-9d82-7953f717bfac.jpg?v=1775356953","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/thats-not-how-we-do-it-here-a-story-about-how-organizations-rise-and-fall-and-can-rise-again","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
