Rogers, Everett M. 1995. Diffusion of Innovation, 4th Ed. This is the definitive work on innovation diffusion.

Moore, Geoffrey. 1991. Crossing the Chasm, Revised Ed. This book popularized Rogers’ work on innovation diffusion. It’s highly readable and much shorter than Rogers’ book.

Heifetz, Ronald A. and Marty Linsky. 2017. Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Change, Revised Ed. This is a somewhat dry book that nonetheless provides a really useful way to think about the leader’s role in leading change (“view from the balcony”) and some important and seldom-discussed obstacles to change.

Kotter, John P. 2012. Leading Change. This is Kotter’s definitive work on leading change.

Kotter, John and Holger Rathgeber. 2017. Our Iceberg Is Melting, 10th Anniversary Edition. This is an entertaining version of Kotter’s change theory told in the form of a parable about penguins. If you like books like Who Moved My Cheese and Fish! A Proven Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results, you’ll like this book.

Madsten, Corey. 2016. How to Play Dominoes. Every author gets a little bit punchy toward the end of writing a book. This citation is here just to see who’s still reading.
