Lead Change Without Fear : Using the Yes I Am Solution

More than 70 percent of the time the benefits from change initiatives in business are not achieved! This in spite of the wisdom and proven methods that leading change management experts provide. Lead Change Without Fear answers the question: “Why don’t leaders use the vast array of advice offered by change management experts?”

Some managers can be anxious about their success. Some are convinced they can do it all by themselves. And others decide there just isn’t enough time to follow the experts’ advice.

Change, motivation, and creativity expert Paul Schnitzler, PhD, has created Lead Change Without Fear to provide practical tools for learning how to execute a successful change initiative in the workplace. It builds on the industry’s leading philosophies, explains why managers tend to fail, and inspires leaders to discover how their perceptions and behaviors may sabotage their own success.

Using the innovative six-step YES I AM Solution, this book helps managers develop productive behaviors and habits through examples, exercises, and challenges. In the process, readers will gain greater leadership skills and learn concrete strategies to achieve the results they want.

Implementing change in business is rarely easy, but with Dr. Schnitzler’s help, you’re sure to be successful!
