The Change Cycle: How People Can Survive and Thrive in Organizational Change (16pt Large Print Edition)

This book helps you navigate your way through change by utilizing The Change Cycle model. The model depicts the six predictable and sequential stages of change and the specific thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with each stage. Each chapter covers one of the six stages of The Change Cycle and features stories of workplace change, draws on recent organizational and psychological research, and highlights the most important things we have learned in fifteen years of studying and teaching change. Here and there you might run into a little humor, too. Change at work is hard enough - we didn’t want this book to stare back at you like a dour academic. Or a displeased boss. The Change Cycle has been road tested by people in companies and organizations across America and on four continents. It has been used by people contemplating a career change, by the self-employed, by the recently promoted, and by the recently laid off. The model works for people up and down an organization and that is how we wrote the book: it is meant for anyone who works, manages, supervises, or leads.
