Change is hard be it within an individual or an organisation and it is certainly undeniable, to overcome through these changes positively and deal with different issues calmly this book is just perfect.

There are three basic tasks for successful change directed by Heath brothers:

Rather than describing these three tasks we would rather recommend reading it in the book itself.

To their credit, there’s never a moment in this book where you lose sight of the overall message.
