The 5 Forces of Change – A blueprint for leading successful change

Organisations that can change regularly and effortlessly have a huge competitive advantage. The trick is to work with the grain of human nature rather than against it.

The 5 Forces of Change explains what really motivates employees in times of change – and shows how leaders at all levels can use this knowledge to ensure consistently positive outcomes. In short, it shows how helping people to become more certain, more purposeful, more in control of their destiny, more connected with others, and more successful during change enables them to achieve extraordinary results.

Packed with examples and case studies, The 5 Forces of Change provides a practical blueprint for leading people through change – an invaluable tool for any executive or manager responsible for planning or delivering change.

5 Tales of Change – How people have wrestled with change and won!

These five short stories are about people and organisations struggling with change. In each tale our hero or heroine experiences one of the major pitfalls that beset people going through change at work and discovers how to turn the situation on its head. In short, they learn to work with the grain of human nature and thereby achieve successful change. Although the stories are easy and enjoyable to read, each one packs a punch, illustrating a key technique for dealing with change; the book makes an excellent training aid, and an inspiring read for anyone grappling with the challenges of change.
