It uses first-person accounts to illustrate proven methods to engage employees in change, taking advantage of humor and cartoons to emphasize key points. An organizational change initiative may include new technology, processes, or structures, but organizations can only change when people in them change. When employees think differently about their work and approach their jobs aligned with the change, they influence their coworkers and move the initiative forward.

Recommended for collections where immigrant narratives are lacking.\"—School Library Journal  \"Inspiring, edifying tale\" —Foreword Reviews  \"History...in a delicious package. This title is recommended for all libraries.\" —Association of Jewish Libraries  Highlighting an underrepresented part of Jewish-American history, this poetic non-fiction picture book tells the collective stories of the immigrants who came through the port of Galveston, Texas in prose to captivate 6-8 year-olds.  In the early 20th century, thousands of Jews escaped antisemitic Russia to immigrate to the U.S. They faced long journeys across oceans, sometimes leaving family behind. But they didn't arrive at Ellis Island, as many others had. They were welcomed instead through the port of Galveston, Texas, on the Gulf Coast.  Galveston had sweet air and wide-open space. The newcomers built temporary communities, havens of people offering help, food, and shelter, to ease the loneliness and fear of a new country with a new language. And when they could, they ventured into the vast Midwest searching for jobs and safer futures.  In an end note, the author shares her family's story of coming to America from Russia and further details the history of Jewish immigration, the organizations that helped facilitate the journeys, and how Galveston became a popular port.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51783844790545,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51783845183761,"sku":"NGR9781681156545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52515835052305,"sku":"NIN9781681156545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52676385079569,"sku":"NLS9781681156545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"two-thousand-miles-to-happy-book-andrea-shapiro-9781493068197","title":"Two Thousand Miles to Happy","description":"In 1948 World War II veteran Earl Shaffer decided to \"walk the war out of his system\" and became the first person to report hiking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail in one, continuous journey.
