Review Quotes
...a great practical tool with real life scenarios that help me to understand change resistance, behaviours and responses - and plan my next move to address that hard-to-crack area of culture change within a transformation programme.-- "Amazon"
An accessible guide to undertaking change..
I read this book in one day, it was a joy, I can't recommend it highly enough. A primer for change managers novice or experienced alike.
Immersive, un-put-downable, hilarious, packed with learning and tools...
Buy this book, read it, have fun, put the learning into practice, make a difference!
This is the type of book you keep by your side and revisit regularly. I think each time you read it you'd learn more about yourself and change.
-- "Amazon"Dr Tammy Watchorn is an absolute inspiration, such an engaging book, a must read for anyone...and I mean anyone, it really makes you think about change in a different way. We all fear change but not when you are a Change Ninja..Very much looking forward to the next volume-- "Amazon"
There are lots of books about the psychology of change management but this is a rare and engaging way of learning the consequences of one's own decisions on how to manage change, and that means we are learning and adapting as we progress this fun and interactive adventure.-- "Amazon"
This book on change has such a unique voice and concept. The choose your own adventure style keeps what could be another drab entry in the change management pantheon... fresh and easy to connect with. It feels practical and helpful in the way other books in this category need translation.-- "Amazon"
