Praise for the first edition of Making Sense of Change Management‘I commend it highly. It has a good coverage of relevant theoretical work while atthe same time giving plenty of practical examples. It is written in an accessiblestyle that engages the reader and it is full of useful ideas without being overlyprescriptive or formulaic.’Philip Sadler, author of a number of acclaimed business titles and formerchief executive of Ashridge Business School‘I really enjoyed this book. I like the straightforward approach, the inclusion of theauthor’s opinion and the insight provided by the case studies. This book will bevery useful for those business managers in my organization who need to preparethemselves for tackling major organizational change.’Andy Houghton, former Head of Organization Development, RetailDirect, Royal Bank of Scotland Group‘There has long been a need for a readable, practical but theoretically under-pinnedbook on Change which recognized a multiplicity of perspectives. By combining thebehavioural, humanistic, organizational and cognitive perspectives and by helpingthe reader make sense of what each perspective brings to understanding Change,this book should help students and practitioners. By linking in work on personalitytests such as MBTI the book breaks new ground from a practitioner point of viewnot least because these tests are widely used in practice. I thoroughly recommend it.’Professor Colin Carnall, Associate Dean, Executive Programme, WarwickBusiness School, University of Warwick‘If you’re interested in successfully managing and leading change, then read thisbook! It not only covers change from both the individual and organizationalperspective, but also increases the number of options available to you.’Judi Billing, Director of IDeA Leadership Academy, Improvement andDevelopment Agency‘Change is a huge thing wherever you work. The key is to make change happen,and make it happen well – with everyone on side, and everyone happy. This bookprovides an extremely stimulating and accessible guide to doing just that. Thereare a few people at the Beeb who could do with this. I’ll definitely be placing copieson a couple of desks at White City.’Nicky Campbell, Presenter Radio Five Live and BBC1’s Watchdogi
