About this title

Review:

Building on the metaphor of the frontier experience to understand organizational change, The Challenge of Change shows how change creates a wide range of responses in people, from excitement and enthusiasms to panic, fear, and depression. It gives practical tips to help employees move forward and overcome feelings of loss and confusion, offering productive new behaviors in individuals and institutions which can adapt in response to the demands for change. The Challenge of Change furnishes models for communicating about change based on the personalities of the people and the type of organization and provides specific steps, strategies, and management styles for mobilizing different groups of employees. Humane, down-to-earth, and practical, The Challenge of Change provides specific help to people who want to turn the traumas of transition into a success story. -- Midwest Book Review
