Book Description

People don’t resist change if they are prepared for change. Change Ready! How to Turn Change Resistance into Change Readiness, by Rita Burgett-Martell, provides leaders with a practical step-by-step guide to implementing, managing and sustaining change. Readers will gain insight into the personal reactions that cause resistance to change and learn what to do to minimize resistance, maximize readiness and create a change ready culture. The author’s common-sense approach and real-life examples illustrate both opportunities and challenges, providing the reader with a definitive, accessible guide to a topic that’s often presented too theoretically. It’s a must-read resource that everyone involved in or affected by change should have on their bookshelves.
