Summary
Without a clear understanding of what transition does to employees and what employees in transition can, in turn, do to an organization, the job of managing workplace change can be difficult. Managed poorly, the result can be disastrous for morale and stability. As veteran business consultant William Bridges explains in detail, successful organizational change takes place when employees have a purpose, a mental picture, a plan for, and a part to play in change. In short, successful change takes place only when employees are "on board" with it.
Directed at managers on all rungs of the corporate ladder, this thoroughly updated and expanded edition of the best selling Managing Transitions provides practical, step-by-step strategies for reaching goals and minimizing the disruptions caused by workplace change. It is an invaluable managerial tool for navigating an inevitably tumultuous time.

Should be required reading (listening)
It really should be a mandatory book for any managers in an organisation planning a major change, be it a re-invention, a merger or acquisition. Good content and well read, enjoyed listening to it.

Not as useful as I expected
Much of this is common sense and rehashing normal techniques. There were a few examples that can be added to best practices. Overall, marginal at best.

Great concepts brought to your attention
Best thing I think could sum up this book is leaders need to manage a transition not change. Change is a single point in time, but that does not give us a chance to transition our psychological ties to the way things used to be and how our emotions and irrationalities get in the way of a successful transition. He gives great suggestions on dealing with it and IDENTIFYING it.

I buy it for others
A really great way to set the common language required for transitions. It clearly explains what we all go through during changes, but don't talk about, but should.

Conceptual and practical! Worth it.
This book does an incredible job of defining the overall conceptual process of transition and how to practically meet your people where they’re at to move forward with change. Something I’ll come back to again and again!

Good info....but long!
Most of the content was good, but in the Audible format it made for some repetitive portions as well as long periods of dead air between chapters and sections, so much so I thought my Bluetooth had disconnected.
