"The

Vijay Govindarajan, Earl C. Daum 1924 Professor of International Business,
Director, Center for Global Leadership, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth
College.
"I found
the Fieldguide to
be intellectually exciting and emotionally inspiring. In a single volume we are
given the distilled thinking of an amazing collection of authors who are among
our most respected experts in the fields of change and leadership development. I
cannot imagine any executive who would not profit from reading this book —
providing its ideas are put into immediate practice."
–
Nathaniel Branden, author of "The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem" and
"Self-Esteem at Work."
"The
Fieldguide is a treasure trove of case studies, models and tools from which
leaders, who view themselves as agents of change in their organization can learn
from and apply in a practical way."
– Bob Weigand, Director, Management Training & Development,
St. Luke's Hospital
and Health Network.
"Finally there is a book that shows you how to lead change
(versus only what it looks like when you get there). It's like reading a repair
manual versus a sales brochure. Bravo to the authors!"
– R. Dixon Thayer, former CEO,
Ford Global New Business Operations,
and Senior Partner,
