This charming story about a penguin colony in Antarctica illustrates important truths about how we deal with the topic of change: when one masters the challenge well, one can prosper significantly; if handled poorly, one exposes oneself to risk. The penguins live happily on their iceberg, just as they have for many years. Then a curious penguin discovers a potentially devastating problem that threatens their home, and almost no one listens to him. The characters in this fable are like people we recognize, even ourselves. Their story is about resisting change and heroic deeds, confusion and insight, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and the cleverest tactics to deal with these obstacles. It is a story that is happening around us today in various forms, but the penguins handle change far better than most of us. Based on John Kotter's groundbreaking work on how to bring about smart change.
