This review is from: Beyond the Wall of Resistance: Why 70% of All Changes Still Fail--and What You Can Do About It (Paperback)
Rick Maurer has taken the best of his original "beyond resistance work", "Why Don't You Want What I Want" and added new observations and suggestions to deal with significant change. This isn't blind prescription, Rick uses evidence based research & real practitioner input to revise, update & infuse this book with very useful suggestions to help people leading change to engage those impacted by change. I am totally biased here - I have known Rick for 15 years & have used his ideas with great results.

Incorrectly categorized,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beyond the Wall of Resistance: Unconventional Strategies that Build Support for Change (Hardcover)
This book could have more appropriately been categorized as a negotiation strategy or conflict management book. Most examples in this book focus on negotiating a settlement between two (and only two) opposing groups when a change is proposed. There is little or no mention made of change management per se. Further, it's theories and suggestions focus very little on questions such as, "how do I get people to accept and support the change that I am proposing," and rather much more on understanding when resistance to your idea is present. Frankly, I know when resistence is present, I'm more interested in what to do with it. Finally, the book is poorly written, in my opinion. It often wanders from the subject at hand to make obsure references - e.g., Groucho Marx movies and the third century emperor Pyrrhus. These references are distracting, and inappropriate in a book designed for corporate managers who have little time to read as it is.
