Synopsis
Change is a process that begins with an event. So often we're so focused on the event that we miss the process and end up frustrated, lost, and disillusioned. If you want to create success, you need a blueprint and approach to guide you. Equipped for Change: Doing the Deep Work of Transformation provides organizations with a guide to identify and integrate strategies that will enable them to heighten engagement, cultivate learning, and enhance leadership.
