Whether you’re looking to scope out your next book to read or you’re looking to get a summary so you don’t have to read the book, we’ve got the book reviews for you. In addition to reviewing books on change, we’ve read exhaustively from marketing, psychology, neurology, leadership, management, and business. It’s part of what we pulled together in the Confident Change Management course. It’s one place where you can learn what you need to be confident in your change management project. Each of the links below leads to a book review which not only summarizes the work but also relates it to other similar works.
