The company I use to work for would give out books to be read before the next annual review. At the time the company had just been through a big merger. They assisgned this book, and I really liked the lightness of it. It wasn't really like reading a "self-help" book. But it was very relavent to me at the time. I read the book on my plane ride while traveling. I think I might read it again. I'll let you know
You get to rethink the process of the changes you have been a part of - and understand why things maybe didn't work out the way they were ment to.
A fantastic take on a difficult subject. Came away with a fresh new look on change, change management and the forces at play against change.

A very quick read; about an hour and a half. Interesting way to write about leadership issues in a story format.
For all those afraid of change...read this.
interesting, somewhat predictable, valid points and tips for management. Wonder how I can slip this to the leadership within my agency?
A bit of a disappointment in delivery, although the conclusion that the entire enterprise is ultimately involved in successful change, has merit.
It's quite unusual spot for book of that kind but I must admit that the advices at the end will be very helpful in every organisation.
it's a book that presents a simple way to understand change management
I love Blanchard's writing style...
This is a great book. It is written like a mystery novel and shows readers their impact on change processes. This was an awesome and very quick read!
