The End of Change
Rating: ******* (Good)
A good title, but the book fails to live up to it. But it is nevertheless a very interesting and unique viewpoint of change (that of ADL and its consultants) and how to handle it. Read for no other reason than to gain an insight in how management consultant attack an area like this.
