"This book explains and articulates that understanding and managing
change cannot be done without understanding human emotion. It is
the combination of this understanding with practical tools and
guidance that makes this book so relevant and so effective for
individuals, leaders, HR managers and organizations alike."
*Tom Woolgar, Managing Director, Head of Corporate Banking, EMEA,
BMO Capital Markets, UK*
"In times when business leaders are struggling with volatility and
uncertainty about the future of their organizations, Julie Hodges
lays out a path for understanding and leveraging change. For
organizational leaders, Managing and Leading People Through
Organizational Change presents a compelling invitation and a
comprehensive map for the journey toward sustainable change. The
powerful case studies should spark insights and ideas on what to
do. Well written, well researched and full of insight, this book
will open your mind to a deeper way of thinking about change and
how to lead people through the challenges of organizational
change."
*David L Hain, Managing Director, Gotham Growth Group, USA*
"Leading people through change is a vital capability of the 21st
century manager. This book provides a welcome and much needed guide
to navigating the complex organizational landscape at a time of
unprecedented volatility and turmoil. A must read for managers,
consultants, and scholars alike."
*Catherine Botting. Lecturer in Management and Organizational
Change at the University of York Management School, UK*
"I often see change management either done badly or completely
neglected. This is a must-read handbook on how to navigate the
various facets of people-focused organizational change. The
real-life case studies provide context to what can often be a
subjective area of discussion. A highlight for me, was how Julie
brilliantly articulated the various intelligence characteristics
that are key to people-centric change management leadership."
*Bobby Jagdev, Freelance Enterprise Technologist & Podcast Host,
UK*
"The ability for organizations to transform and change has never
been more critical. It is the difference between whether a company
thrives or dies. Hodges' book debates crucial leadership points for
any business including the leadership of change, sustaining change
and the epicentre of change - 'the zone of uncomfortable debate'.
This book offers a great reference point for leaders at all
levels."
*Dawn Brown, Head of Transactional Services, MHR, UK*
"Change is the only constant. This book is a timely guide to help
us cope with change effectively. Must read for HR and organization
leaders!"
*Dickson Tang, DicksonTang.me, Singapore*
"Change is inevitable and yet again Julie highlights that the
question of succeeding or failing to navigate change is a large
part down to understanding the impact of change on people and their
emotions. A superb read for anyone who wants to not just make
change happen, but also ensure sustained success."
*Phil Clarke Vice President Talent Acquisition. ADNOC, UAE*
"We were already working in organizations and systems facing
continuous change then we were faced with COVID-19 which both
accelerated the pace of change and forced us to do things
differently, for example remote working. This much-needed book
provides both theory and practical examples to explain what is
needed to lead and manage people through the change with clear
practical recommendations at the end of each chapter. There is a
very welcome and needed emphasis on how change effects individuals
and how to engage them in the change process."
*Nicola Jackson, Programme Lead, West North East Cumbria Local
Maternity System, UK*
"Managing and Leading People through Organizational Change is all
about people, attending to both the needs of those leading the
change and the employees most effected by the change. The
complexity of the individual is acknowledged and there is an
important focus on enabling managers to appreciate this and to find
ways in which they can involve and include employees in the change
that is needed."
*Kathryn Hardy, Programme Lead, North East Local Maternity Systems,
UK*
"A great source of insight around the people factors associated
with change. If you are leading, managing or simply dealing with
the operational impacts of change then this work, with its blend of
theory, practice and real case studies will be a valuable source of
reference."
*Mary Driscoll, Partner, Interim Management at Savannah Group, UK*
