"This is a book which would be of principal benefit to people who are beginning to be more responsible for managing significant changes in their organisations. It would also be very useful to anyone further along the path into more senior roles, since it reviews and puts into a practical context a wide range of change, behavioural and management theories.... The book is full of well-researched and academically tested information and practical guidance from successful change managers.... 5 stars: Exceptional, a "must read" for any manager or leader."
Quentin Kopp for the Chartered Management Institute Book Club
"It... includes numerous charts, graphs, and case studies in the course of exploring a change manager's processes. References and insights into how change management concepts can be applied across the board to a wide variety of scenarios makes this a solid reference."
