While every change is unique, there is a predictable pattern to change. Understand that pattern, and you can turn change into opportunity!

Change is inevitable. When unexpected or unwanted change disrupts well-established routines, personally and professionally, it’s natural to wonder, “Who rocked the boat?” Unfortunately, that is exactly the wrong question to ask! Discover from the change experts with decades of experience at FranklinCovey how successful leaders engage people experiencing change and turn change into opportunity.

FranklinCovey is the world leader in helping organizations achieve results that require collective behavior change. They have built a Change Model that demystifies the uncertainty of change and creates the opportunity to realize greater results, personal growth, and even innovation.

A simple but profound business parable. Change: How to Turn Uncertainty Into Opportunity begins with a business parable that invites leaders to reflect on their own change journey and discover how their “crew” falls into a set of predicable patterns and reactions. Whatever the size or scope of the change you’re facing, by following the story’s Change Model you can confidently lead and chart a way forward knowing what will come next.

Inside find:

• Concrete examples and step-by-step instructions on how to engage teams through the change process
• How the Change Model makes change actionable and predictable
• How to minimize the disruption of change
• Where most change initiatives fail and how to adapt
