He does this by providing examples that the reader can relate to on the job as well as providing concepts for the reader to understand. These concepts and ways of thinking integrate nicely with the Organizational Behavior and Management text that is used to help in the understanding of how organizational behavior effects our lives on a professional as well as social level.

             Establishing a sense of urgency can relate closely with most aspects and themes of Organizational Management. However, it can easily be tied to decision making and communication. The decision-making concept focuses on the ability of an organization to make the right decisions at the right time. The text talks about two specific types of decisions, which are important. These decisions are programmed decisions, are usually repetitive and routine and a have procedures which have been developed to handle them. Nonprogrammed decisions have no established procedure for handling problems, because they may be problems, which may be new or have not been handled before. Some decisions in organizations have to be made with a sense of urgency. Time may be of utmost importance in order to make the right decision. Kotter tells us that an organization with 100 employees must have at least two dozen employees that must go far beyond the normal call of duty to produce significant change.
