Our Iceberg Is Melting is a simple fable about doing well in an ever-changing world. Based on the award-winning work of Havard's John Kotter, it is a story that has been used to help thousands of people and organizations.
The fable is about a penguin colony in Antartica. A group of beautiful emperor penguin live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home - and pretty much no one listens to him.
The characters in the story, Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo, are like people we recognize - even ourselves. Their tale is one of resistance to change and heroic action, seemingly intractable obstacle and the most clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It's a story that is occuring in different forms all around us today - but penguins handle the very challenges a great deal better than most of us.
