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 *
