“This book is written for leaders involved in or planning organisational change.  It is jargon-free and easy to dip in and out of.  It does not require substantial grounding in management of change theories, therefore is useful both for managers facilitating change and also for employees of companies undergoing a strategic and cultural change as a tool for providing meaning to those changes.”  (The British Psychological Society, 1 June 2013)
