Navigating Change: Field Guide to Personal Growth

by Gary W. Gore

In Navigating Change, W. Gary Gore provides a succinct and common-sense path to follow in learning to lead self and, as a result, others. He draws upon the metaphor of a map and compass to communicate the absolute necessity of aligning ourselves with our desired destination and having an incremental plan to get there. Gore tells us that our life is a journey of navigating circumstances and obstacles over which we have little or no control. The only control we really have in life is how we choose to respond to those circumstances. He passionately puts forth the ethos of 100% Responsibility as a basis for living our lives and leading our self.

I love this book. One the best personal development books I have ever read. So many little nuggets of knowledge. Short and sweet. I have read it several times but each time I take away some valuable information.

[Michael Ross · Rating 4 out of 5]

Decent book about self leadership. The biggest theme I took away was that you have to lead yourself before you can lead others.

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some excellent principles in this book, not just for those in leadership positions, but for everyone. Taking 100% responsibility for everything that happens to you, was one of my favorites.

Great use in motivating and leadership. Each chapter provides an easy review of what was discussed.

Very easy read. Cuts straight to the point. Also lists the main take-always after each chapter. Fantastic book to read if you want to examine steps to expanding your character
