Change happens to us constantly, and it's not always a matter of our own will. Sometimes we fear it or simply don't want to change if we're happy with our current situation. As a result, we miss out on valuable opportunities for growth and development, essential for moving forward—this applies to both work and personal life. This book by William Bridges, Ph.D., a world-renowned change management consultant who has worked with companies such as Intel, Apple, and Shell, and Susan Bridges, president of William Bridges Associates, will help you understand the underlying processes behind change, how to recognize and navigate each stage of change—in both good and bad times. With the authors' advice and memorable real-life examples, you'll learn to understand transformations well, understand their necessity, and recognize the benefits they can bring to you.
