Sommario/riassunto

The ongoing state of many contemporary organizations is one of change. The pace and complexity of change contribute to intense



emotions that play out both inside and outside organizations. The leader's challenge in dealing with change is to recognize and understand the patterns of response that people express as they learn their way through transition and to customize intervention strategies that help individuals move forward in the changing environment. This collection of sixteen pieces explores the important topic of leading through transition from a number of angles.
