Wish I'd written it?

What a handy, concise, common-sense book for any manager trying to implement positive change in the workplace and facing resistance among the workforce. I'm recommending that my clients read it, and carry it in their suit pockets for ready reference as they streamline their operations. This quick-read book can help prevent or mitigate predictable concerns among employees who feel threatened when faced with work-habit changes. Keener's insight makes so much sense. I wish I'd written this little book myself. "

Right on target!

After reading this book, I am convinced that every manager/supervisor should have this book in their library. The approach goes way beyond theoretical to the practical day to day business of creating solutions to what matters most - how to deal with change in the workplace. I carry it with me always.

Time well spent

You can read Jim Keener's book in much less time than it takes to watch the evening news, and with a much heftier payoff. He manages to say in a relatively few words what long-winded pundits and business consultants turn into huge, unreadable books and pricey seminars. What I like most is Keener's optimism and common sense. I imagine him sitting in a comfortable room chatting with some intelligent, well-intentioned people who are smart enough to solve their own problems if given a gentle nudge. People resist change, he says, for good reasons, but if you give them some guidance they will be more comfortable with what is going to happen anyway. Change is nothing to be afraid of, but something to be turned to advantage. Keener's book would be ideal for busy, skeptical people in organizations going through a shake-down. It's a book they will actually read, think about, read again, and pass along to others. A few bucks and a few minutes well spent.

As common as change is in today's organizations, employees still do not like it, and display amazing resistance. This is a pocket handbook that can help executives and managers determine the types of resistance to organizational change they encounter, and offers strategies to overcome that resistance.
