Authors Sarah Cook, Steve Macaulay and Hilary Coldicott offer a solid, reliable roadmap for navigating the twisted trails of corporate change initiatives. This comprehensive presentation is based on the authors' combined 40 years of consulting and change-facilitation experience. The book provides a wealth of self-diagnostic tests, interactive exercises and checklists to help you tackle the practical mechanics of introducing organizational change from all four compass points: business, politics, emotions and the spirit. The volume demonstrates little patience with the self-serving "practical" case studies that are 'de rigueur' in business books. While one might applaud the authors' sense of economy in eliminating "how great we are" stories, their absence may also explain why the book comes across as just a tad dry. Change is a perpetually dynamic story line, so one expects its roadmap to bear a range of narrative hues, although the sound advice here is rare enough. We strongly recommend this volume - when you're lost, any good map is your friend. It doesn't have to be fancy as long as it includes a compass.

作者Sarah Cook、Steve Macaulay和Hilary Coldicott提供了一个坚实、可靠的路线图，用于引导企业变革计划的曲折轨迹。这篇综合性的报告基于作者40年的咨询和变革促进经验。这本书提供了丰富的自我诊断测试，互动练习和检查表，以帮助您解决从四个罗盘点引入组织变革的实际机制：商业，政治，情感和精神。这本书显示出对商业书籍中那些自私自利的“实际”案例研究缺乏耐心。虽然有人可能会称赞作者在消除“我们是多么伟大”的故事中的经济意识，但他们的缺席也可能解释了为什么这本书给人的感觉只是有点枯燥。变化是一个永恒的动态故事线，因此人们期望它的路线图带有一系列的叙述色彩，尽管这里的合理建议是非常罕见的。我们强烈推荐这本书-当你迷路的时候，任何好的地图都是你的朋友。只要有指南针，就不必太花哨了。
