Managing Transitions by William Bridges

Managing Transitions by William Bridges

From the most trusted voice on transition, a revised edition of the classic practical guide to dealing with the human side of organizational change. The business world is a place of constant change, with stories of corporate mergers, layoffs, bankruptcy, and restructuring hitting the news every day. Yet as veteran consultant William Bridges maintains, the situational changes are not as difficult for companies to make as the psychological transitions. In the best-selling Managing Transitions , Bridges provides a clear understanding of what change does to employees and what employees in transition can do to an organization. Directed at managers and employees in today's corporations, Bridges shows how to minimize the distress and disruptions caused by change. Managing Transitions addresses the fact that it is people who have to carry out the change. When the book was originally published a decade ago, Bridges was the first to provide any real sense of the emotional impact of change and what can be done to keep it from disrupting the entire organization. With new information and commentary on layoffs, corporate suspicion, and the increasing tumult in the business world, Managing Transitions remains the definitive guide to dealing with change.

"Bill Bridges is right on targetThe situational examples are very real-to-life - Managing Transitions is exactly right for corporate employees. It's one of the best books I've read." - Debbie Biondolillo, Vice President of Human Resources, Apple Computer "Change and rate of change are more dynamic today than ever. Bill Bridges has attacked an area of managing change that many not only avoid, but also do not even recognise the human side of change. Managing Transitions can certainly help an organisation understand change better and develop improved change strategies." Robert Levy, Personnel Programmes Manager, Corporate Education, Hewlett-Packard"
