Thomas R. Harvey and Elizabeth A. Broyles skillfully present an important and provocative, theory-based, and practical book on change. Highly readable and loaded with strategies to help today’s leaders and organizations understand and navigate through the realities and challenges of change. A must-read for all.-Lawrence Kemper, former superintendent; president of Association of California School Administrators Harvey’s Building Teams, Building People has been my bible for working with team conflicts. The timing of Harvey and Broyles’s latest book, Resistance to Change, could not be more divine. In this accelerated pace of change in the workplace, resistance to change is to be expected. Harvey and Broyles’s strategies to deal with such resistance-to change organizational culture, to deal with insecurity and fear of failure, to build trusting relationships, to create personal connections with change, and to implement a theory of small wins-will be the reference for successful leaders."-Rich Thome, educational leader in residence, School of Leadership and Education Sciences, University of San Diego “Resistance to Change is an insightful, commonsense approach to plan and manage change in today’s volatile environment of diminishing resources. This is an easy read for all levels of management in the public or private sector. It provides a practical framework to successfully implement change. It is a practical guide full of analyses that illustrate how important the change process is in the era of diminishing resources."-Martin Lomeli, City manager for over twenty-five years in La Verne, Rose Mead, and West Covina, California
