Elaine Biech is a national treasure. She has a magician's talent for taking the ideal, speculative, and theoretical and transmuting it into the real, applicable, and practical. And, in Thriving Through Change, Elaine performs her magic with great skill. She offers six clear steps; scores of tips, tools, and techniques; and 23 activities to support implementation. Thriving Through Change is comprehensive in scope yet concise in delivery. It elevates our thinking about change, yet is very down-to-earth in tone. It's informed by theory and research yet grounded in practice. It's always a sure bet with an Elaine Biech book, and Thriving Through Change is another winner. I predict you'll want to keep it within reach the next time you set out on an adventure in change.
