Reviews

I genuinely believe that if Human Resource/Organizational Development professionals are to make a meaningful contribution to their business, it is essential that they are considered to be experts on human behaviour, and are equipped with a quiver full of ideas that could support the continued successful development of their business. In this book, David has presented a fantastic distillation of his ability to accessibly communicate his expertise in researching and disseminating novel and meticulously researched themes for the professional practitioner’s tool-kit. Leatham Green LLM; MBA; ACEL; BA. and Founder of The Mindful HR CentreEye-opening, enlightening, and forward thinking. David’s book ambitiously combines the topics of change leadership and Neuro-Linguistic Programming to produce a paradigm shifting piece of work. He lucidly describes an innovative and practical approach that will help create conscious, reflective, and productive leaders. In an ever-changing world, David’s ideas and strategies will, I believe, become the essential difference that makes the difference.Steven Burns, NLP Trainer, Director & Founder of The Scottish Centre of NLPNeuro-Linguistic Programming for Change Leaders: The Butterfly Effect is an essential book for managers involved in leading change. David’s approach to broadening our understanding of the role of human behaviour and its dynamic relationship regards managing complex change is both practical and welcomed. In this book David provides an in-depth understanding of the ‘softer side’ of change leadership and a set of user friendly NLP tools to strengthen the skills set of the modern change leader."
