The business world is a place of constant change, with stories of mergers, layoffs, bankruptcy, and restructuring appearing in the news every day. No matter the scale, when these kinds of changes hit the workplace, the concrete situational shifts are often not as difficult for employees and managers to work through as the psychological transitions that accompany them. Organizational transitions affect people; it is always people who have to embrace a new situation and carry out the corresponding changes.

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.

Easy read, great content

This book was excellent! I read it for my MBA Corporate Strategy and Structure class, and it was extremely beneficial. This book is ALL about managing changes within the company, and Bridges has a wonderful set of theories to go along with the readings. There are a whole bunch of quizzes to take, too, to see where you are at with your transition and if your team is transitioning properly. My favourite part of the book was the Life Cycle Analysis-- describing Bridges' phases a company goes through when it is growing from infancy to senior. Very informative book, easy to read, and easy to relate to!

This will be an ongoing re-read when proposing or experiencing change. I hadn't realized how much the emotional issues affected the changes we go through or propose for others.
The exercises and charts help visualize and reflect of the realities we face almost every day.

Very good book about managing change by managing transitions. My only knock would be that it is somewhat repetitive.

Standardwerk für Change Management

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on September 23, 2016

Hier kann man die Grundlegenden Ansätze des Change Managements nachlesen. Meines Erachtens ein Standardwerk. Das verwendete Englisch ist sehr gut lesbar. Viel Wert wird auf die Darstellung der psychologischen Zusammenhänge bzw. Interdependenzen gelegt.
