Rating:
Summary: What a great book!
Review: Having to manage change in my division is one of my least favorite activities but learned from this book, if you are in management today, you pretty much are a change manager. This book has lots of chapters, more than 25. Each of them, fortunately is easy to get through. The book cites a lot of the change management gurus through the years and gives a good summary of their theories and why they remained popular. But in addition to theory, there is lots of practical advice in this book. All chapters end with a section on things that are worth remembering and are most important from the chapter. I like that, because time is short, and sometimes you just want to get the answers!

Summary: Complete and Easy To Understand
Review: I can't say enough about this book. It's almost encyclopedic in its approach to laying out a process for identifying and attracting new clients. The book is loaded with charts and most of them are relatively easy to understand on first viewing. Although the book appears to be geared towards a firm with at least 8 or 10 professionals, I think the authors' system would work as well for a professional firm with only one or two individuals.

Summary: What a great book!
Review: This is a deceptively clever book on the topic of change management in business. Normally I wouldn't consider picking up an Idiot's Guide on something as important as managing a change initiative, I was pleasantly surprised by the scope and depth of this book. It is well researched, far reaching, and a valuable asset for anyone whose been asked to head up any kind of business or organizational change. I can recommend it without reservation.
