Leading People in Change by Jennifer Bryan

'Insightful, educational and to the point, excellent read, provides real world, some great experiences and lessons learn all of which can be re-applied quickly and effectively in the real world, well done, Great book.'Andrea Jones, Director of Treasury at Association of Change Management Professionals UK Chapter

In a world defined by dramatic technological and economic shifts, business organizations large and small are finding themselves having to adapt and transform at an unprecedented pace. While these demands have led to numerous theories of change management - often with over-complicated methodologies and purely technology-focused approaches - the fact remains that change is primarily about people.

Aimed at the ordinary line manager just as much as the director of a large company, this book is a short, simple account of practical steps to lead people through change successfully, with quick and easy chapters and pertinent case studies. Drawing on the author's own tried-and-tested ABChange Model, Leading People in Change: A Practical Guidewill help you to find the change strategy that is right for your business.

'In this book, Jen manages to successfully demystify the often ill-defined discipline of Change Management; she adds a generous helping of practicality and provides us with real world examples that are simple to adopt and implement in your change initiatives. You'll learn enough from the included Case Studies alone to justify the cover price!'Sean Galloghly, Prosci Certified Change Management Advanced Instructor

'Whether you are starting to encounter change, or feel like a veteran, this book will give you insight into how to lead your teams intentionally through it. It brings light into the murky view of how to approach change with a conscious strategy, as opposed to a reactionary plan. It is a great leveller for feelings of overwhelm, to lead you to a clear and strategic plan for the way ahead, that meets the needs of the employees and business you find yourself in. I recommend all leaders grab a copy!'Nicola Forbes-Taylor, Leadership Consultant and People Director, NFT Consulting
