Effective Change process made nonthreatening

Making long-term changes can be a daunting process but this book breaks it down into manageable, nonthreatening steps. I found Part 1 on Raising Awareness to be particularly helpful in identifying specific and clear areas for change. Plus, the exerise boxes throughout the book are handy references when going through the actual steps. The composite case studies gave clear insight in practical application (and the realistic struggles) that happen when employing each of the steps. This book is a simple, yet well conceived guide for managing change.

Marilyn Bushey

This book is truly a change manual and takes accomplishing change to a whole new level. I quickly read it when I received it, then went back and did a deep read and next will start to apply the principles in the Circles of Strength. I think this is just the thing for individuals and companies in transition.
