While every change is unique, there is a predictable pattern to change. By understanding that pattern you can build the skills to pilot your team through the waters of disruptive change.
Change is inevitable. When unexpected or unwanted change disrupts well-established routines, personally and professionally, it's natural to wonder, "Who rocked the boat?" Unfortunately, that is exactly the wrong question to ask! Discover from the change experts at FranklinCovey how successful leaders engage people in change and turn change into opportunity.

A simple but profound business parable. Change: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Opportunity begins with a business parable that invites leaders to reflect on their own change journey and discover how their "crew" falls into a set of predicable patterns and reactions.
