媒体评论

　　"In this world of impermanent governments and topsy-turvy businesses, Yeats's line ``the centre cannot hold'' comes to mind as an apt de*ion of our times. Taking advantage of this whirlwind of change is a plethora of ``change doctors'' who aid executives with their hyperdynamic responsibilities. Conner presents a well-reasoned, original approach to change management, relevant for any organization. Based on his extensive consulting experience, Conner describes the patterns of change, his unique principles of resilience, and the imperative that the change process be actively led by managers. More functional than either Rosabeth Moss Kanter's The Change Master (Touchstone, 1985) or Tom Peters's Thriving on Chaos ( LJ 10/15/87), this is a useful guide to managing change, especially for stressed-out managers. Highly recommended."
　　--Dale Farris, Groves, Tex.
