CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 7, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Some companies stay ahead of all the latest advancements and programs, and still they cannot avoid a decline in performance. Harlow B. Cohen helps businesses see the forest and the trees with the aid of his new book, "The Dinosaur in the Living Room: Achieving Positive Change by Tackling the Obvious" (now available through AuthorHouse).
"What if it were possible to avert needless declines in performance and to divert energy toward positive change?" Cohen asks. "What if such gains were attained not by adding new technology, allocating more capital, or launching yet another change program, but by tackling obvious opportunities using existing resources?"
These opportunities do exist and according to Cohen are "readily available and proven." With 32 years of business consulting, management, and academic experience, Cohen offers answers and solid guidance in "The Dinosaur in the Living Room." Cohen has been the president of a change management consulting firm, an adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University, a senior consultant, senior vice president of operations, and director of human resources. Now, he offers his extensive knowledge to readers through his common sense guide to better business.
"The Dinosaur in the Living Room" helps readers focus on the obvious aspects of their business in order to institute profitable and beneficial change. The book answers a number of "what if" questions and Cohen provides clear strategies for achieving positive change and results. Whether a seasoned executive or a rookie, Cohen's advice and direction can aid businesses and lift them out of the performance-declining doldrums.
An excellent guide by an expert at the top of his game, "The Dinosaur in the Living Room" is a refreshing look at how to institute positive change.
Cohen holds a doctorate in organization behavior and a master's in organization development from Case Western Reserve University. He has published a number of articles on achieving positive results, identifying and developing managerial high performers, fostering effective teams, and boosting the contributions of human resource professionals.
