I'd say this is a must read for anyone involved in change. It’s a really practical book with some great insights and inspiration. I found it a very easy read - it's not an overwhelming 'textbook' style book, it's one you can dip in and out of as time allows. Also found the free downloadable resources really useful. Highly recommend.
