Management Tools for changing Times

Februar 17, 2010

Michael D. Maginn, a management consultant, focuses on the individual perspective of change in “Managing in Times of Change: 24 Tools for Managers, Individuals, and Teams.” Maginn´s goal is to realize the benefits of change for each individual, and thereby ensuring the success of the change process for whole organization.
The book provides clear, actionable advice to all leaders, teams, and individuals. When facing change managers should communicate well-defined messages to keep confusion and stress for the workforce at a minimum. Employees have to not only listen to the message, but to use it as a foundation for their own day-to-day work.
To achieve this Maginn´s presents tools like: ways to address individual reactions to change and turn personal negatives into positives, methods for overcoming resistance and helping people get unstuck.
All in all a good read for people interested in change on the micro organizational level.
