337: Change (the) Management with Author Al Comeaux

Today’s guest is a former Travelocity, GE, and American Airlines executive.

He is a decorated corporate pioneer and global authority on change from inside organizations.

I’m talking about Al Comeaux (pronounced COH-moh). His career championing change as a senior leader at uber-disruptive dot-coms as well as established, world-renowned companies – and his twenty-year journey researching why so many change efforts fail and what’s needed for success – make him one of the world’s most forward thinkers on what leaders must do – and how they must think – to succeed at change.

His new book is called Change (the) Management: Why We as Leaders Must Change for the Change to Last.
