These five short stories are about people and organisations struggling with change. In each tale our hero or heroine experiences one of the major pitfalls that beset people going through change at work and discovers how to turn the situation on its head. In short, they learn to work with the grain of human nature and thereby achieve successful change. Although the stories are easy and enjoyable to read, each one packs a punch, illustrating a key technique for dealing with change; the book makes an excellent training aid, and an inspiring read for anyone grappling with the challenges of change. 5 Tales of Change is a companion volume to the author's first book, The 5 Forces of Change, described by Professional Manager Magazine as '' - a masterclass on the competencies required to achieve effective organisational change - This work provides an outstanding guide to managers charged with securing organisational change in today's volatile business environment.''
