What others have to say:
The 5 tenets boils down the reason companies need Change
Management to its essence--to help people adopt, apply and embrace
changes that deliver a desired outcome. Jeff and Tim have done it
again by translating a topic that can be fuzzy and esoteric to a level
of clarity and purpose. The new edition is a must read for anyone
starting on a journey of change or as a refresher for those who
regularly manage, sponsor or lead change in an organization.

The 5 tenets of change management give us new insights into how
to approach and lead change. They are the foundational elements that
have propelled the vision and growth of the change management practice
and discipline.
Rachel Shafran, Senior Change Manager
A must read for all executives, managers and change
practitioners. Change Management: The People Side of Change provides a
practical and yet comprehensive explanation of change management and
how to apply the given tenets to achieve the desired business
objectives of change. Based on years of research, the guidance in this
book illustrates why effective change management is more than a
project team role: it is also the responsibility of every executive,
manager and supervisor in the organization. I will distribute this
book broadly throughout my organization.

Tim and Jeff continue to craft thoughtful, practical, and
tested advice for leaders who live in a world of continuous change--in
other words, for all of us. This second edition adds an important
thread to the conversation about the people side of change management:
we change for a purpose. Clarity of intent that creates a vision of
the future state not only inspires and anchors the change effort, but
makes the measures of success obvious. 'What would we have to observe
as evidence that the change effort was successful?'

others--we have seen an increase in individual morale and
organizational productivity.

This is a very pragmatic handbook--built from systematic
research and the field of change management--and I would recommend it
to MBA students as real world preparation and to all managers as a
Bible for helping with the daily challenges of change management!
