Rezension:

Aus den Rezensionen:


"... beleuchtet die Logik von Veränderung und auch deren Psycho-Logik. Das Buch ... beschreibt einzelne Werkzeuge, wie der Wandel professionell gestaltet werden kann. Empfehlen kann ich das Buch allen, die Veränderungen im Unternehmen anstoßen und begleiten, besonders Personen, die Management als Handwerk verstehen und nicht als Philosophie, also die handfesten Rat suchen." (Peter Seemann, in: Börsenblatt, 10/August/2010, Vol. 33, S. 43)
