Their ADKAR model for change management is worth consideration both for organizations and the persons in those organizations.
A - awareness of the need for change
D - desire to make the change happen

It's a book. Interesting if you have a job change, but I didn't find it a great individual tool. It would definitely work better in a group setting, which the book appears designed for.

Basic take away: be open to change and learn from it instead of fighting it.

This was a good book regarding change that you may go through at work. It uses the idea of ADKAR model. It is easy-to-read, which makes it a good reference book for any time that you are facing a major change at work. It is not full of jargon, and it gets the points across easily.

Had to read this little gem for work.

[Edith · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very quick read that describes an effective process to identify barriers to change. Disappointed it does not provide much in the way of suggestions about how to overcome these barriers.
