“If you’ve ever asked yourself “how can I make a difference?” in leading change at your organization, add Change with Confidence to your reading list. While the book is great for finding answers to questions as the arise, in a perfect world, project managers and change leaders would sit down and read cover to cover so they can adequately plan for every step along the way. Change management is just as much about advanced planning as it learning to adapt to new situations as they arise. By learning to change with confidence, the future of the social enterprise doesn’t look so stagnant.”

“So, as well for both beginners and advanced practitioners, this book is. Because of its easyness to read, its practical next-day usage, and its (excuse me Phil…) no “bullshit shuffle” and to-the-point approach. Enjoy reading the book. I sure did.”

“While Buckley is involved with big change projects, that doesn’t mean only the big guys can learn from a book like this. It is down-to-earth and easy to read, but tackles issues that are part of every change initiative. If you are about to begin some type of big change in your organization, at least take the time to read the first 10 questions. Chances are good you will learn something that will whet your appetite to read further.”
