For decades, change—and its more sleekly packaged version, “disruption”—have been seen as essential tools for the growth of any business.

That’s a huge problem, argues Ashley Goodall in his ground-breaking new book. While shaking things up is the first thing a new leader is expected to do, and while generations of executives have been taught that change is an unalloyed good, the reality on the ground is very different.
