[Jann Rrv · Rating 3 out of 5]

Could be as introduction to the world of change management. It’s a basic but valuable resource that helped me remember the core principles and encouraged me to keep learning more about successful change.

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
K - knowledge about how to change
A - ability to implement new skills and behaviors
R - reinforcement to retain the change once it has been made

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.

[J Crossley · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.
