Review
Here's a tool that practices what it preaches--it's adaptable, real, and allows for focus in a variety of situations. Its solutions are doable. It's more than a tool--it's a toolbox full of tools! --Michael T. Hiller, Vice President Lending/Administration, Stanford Federal Credit Untion

This book is filled not only with principles and concepts, but also with specific suggestions for implementation. I suggest that both HRD professionals and line managers read the book and work together when implementing change. They should consider a statement years ago by the late Dr. George Odiorne, 'The best option for change is one created by people who must implement it, or for one for which the implementers can claim ownership.' --Donald L. Kirkpatrick, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin

Wow! This book is like having your own personal OD consultant! It offers not only the 'how' of a program on leading change, but also an insightful and helpful look at the why, when, and where. This book can save your company hours of design and development time...plus build your own skills as a change agent. --Lin Standke, Instructional Design Manager, Center for Professional Development, CUNA & Affiliates
