As far as textbooks go, this one is pretty good. I didn't always enjoy the writing, but it is clear that the authors wish to share what they've learned from their years of change leadership consulting. The roadmap, particularly as a fullstream process, is very complex. The addition of the concept of conscious change leadership elevates the process by combining personal accountability for the leader with the carefully plotted steps of the very thorough fullstream process. If you're stuck, give this a read. It'll probably help kick something loose.

This is an awesome book that takes Integral thinking and applies it to business, specifically transformational change. It's not a book of theory, which is exciting, it's a book of practical action. I especially like the "Case in Point" sidebars which detail some of the specific applications Being First has done with this methodology and companies—public and private. If you're interested in business transformation, this is a must read, and if you're interested in how you can talk about Integral to people who have no clue, it's a really good primer.
