Review:

The late William Bridges is acknowledged as one of the most influential experts in the field of personal change. * Psychologies Magazine * A well thought out and stimulating work which challenges pre-existing beliefs and approaches to planning and managing organisational change. * Training Journal * A very human approach to management and a worthy complement to the many books which take a harder approach to organisational change. * Professional Manager * A valuable and useful work for a great range of practitioners who are inevitably involved with change in their companies. The analogies used in this book are valuable and memorable. Managing Transitions is a useful step-by-step handbook for specialists and practitioners. * People Management * Calm, lucid and encouraging. Bridges' book remains a classic years after it first appeared - praise indeed in a time of great change. His range of anecdotes and quotations is impressive, his arguments logical and persuasive. * Management Today *
