Underlying the arc of the book’s narrative are the steps of a successful and sustainable transformation process. True change is not cosmetic; it requires composing a truthful and memorable story that must be communicated in a multidisciplinary, consonant, and multisensory manner in order to create new behavioral habits. Music and other art forms can help give meaning to lifeless spreadsheets and theoretical presentations.

Original Score

Inspired by James Rhee and arranged by Chad Cannon, Arirang Amazing Grace for a Red Helicopter© conveys the narrative of the book through music.


Composed in e-flat major, this original arrangement utilizes counterpoint to convey the balance and innovation that can emerge when two distinct sets of ideas or voices are given permission to co-exist.

Transformation

This is what transformation looks like as an integrated system. Each of the triangles (or acts) is formed by three chapters. Together, the three triangles form a larger triangle with the help of a bridge called goodwill.
