Pixie Dust II: a tale of leading change Pixie Dust II is a tale of performance management and
change in the woodland community of Ten-Tree Wood. It
consists of a series of stories all about leading change, which
the author has experienced during his career and learned
painful and salutary lessons. They include the very valued
individual, who is facing self-imposed burn out - a more
common problem than many of us care to admit. There is a
story about a group who decide to challenge the
establishment. Another story considers real performance
contribution and how change should be introduced when it is
found that we are doing the wrong things really well. Sound
familiar? Finally, there is a story of how we communicate
change. Do we do what we have always done or is it time to
communicate through our organisations' invisible culture; and
before you say anything, you will have one! The stories are
supported by doctoral research from Dr Andy Bibby, the
leading expert in leading organisational change. Pixie Dust II
is a series of practical management solutions to leading
change. The book will take about an hour to read and a
lifetime to be grateful.

we need a new kind of "mind-ware". Specifically we need to
