Change Intelligence

"Change Intelligence is an engaging read, enlightening for me personally as a leader and a great basis for team conversations. Understanding where you fall as a change leader is the compelling part of this book, and exploring the different styles of change leaders is incredibly thought provoking. Having gone through a sizable merger and facing system-wide change, the CQ process helps me as a CEO and my senior management team identify issues on how to lead our organization." -Peter Bergmann, President and CEO, Sisters of Charity Hospital, Catholic Health System -- Peter Bergmann, President and CEO, Sisters of Charity Hospital, Catholic Health System -- 20130514 "As the president of a steelmaker in charge of leading changes from integrating acquisitions to pursuing new markets to implementing new technologies, I can tell you from direct experience that the CQ System works.

Help the hands, engage the brain, inspire the heart; a winning formula for change execution." -Lyle Loutsch, Senior Director of Reliability and Engineering, Wells Enterprises, Incorporated -- Lyle Loutsch, Senior Director of Reliability and Engineering, Wells Enterprises, Incorporated -- 20130514 "The one thing business leaders mess up most is the management of change.
