Managing Transitions: Making the Most of Change, 3rd Ed

'It isn't the changes that do you in, it's the transitions. They aren't the same thing. Change is situational: the move to a new site, the reorganization of the roles on the team, the revisions to the pension plan. Transition, on the other hand, is psychological; it is a three-phase process that people go through as they internalize and come to terms with the details of the new situation that the change brings about...I'm not saying that transition management is easy - just that you can do it. Which is a good thing, since you don't really have a choice. If you want to know where - and how - to start charting a way through chaos, this book is for you.' William Bridges, from Managing Transitions

In today's business world, where constant change is the norm and mergers, redundancy, bankruptcy and restructurng have become common phenomena, this book is full of good advice for managers and employees alike. William Bridges is an internationally recognised authority on managing change and this third edition of his classic book has been thoroughly updated and expanded.
