review 1: I had high expectations for this book and didn't feel like it delivered. The first chapter is about how powerful this book has been with groups... so I kept reading to figure out the details. Reading the book felt like listening to a infomercial on how groups can change when their steps are implemented. 1. Understand that people are resistant to changing 2. Make sure that you identify the problem you are trying to solve carefully and that everyone involved in the solution is on-board.3. Recognize that sometimes people have a vested interest or insecurities about changing that will make it hard to implement.Ok... that just saved you 300 pages.
review 2: What is preventing you from being able to change? What is your "immunity to change"? I found this book to b... moree extremely useful. The authors provide many examples of how people may want to change but are also holding themselves back - as though they have one foot on the accelerator but also, and unconsciously, have one foot on the brake - no wonder change is not happening! They also discuss the importance of selecting one big thing to focus on changing and stress the importance of selecting that carefully to ensure you can create the greatest impact. The approach presented in this book has a clear process and is very practical. The section toward the end, guides you in working with your own "one big thing" you may want to change. This book will be remaining on my desk as I re-read parts and give it a go in my life. less
