Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Dr. Jacobs describes the process of change, how stress affects us, and where resistance is predictable. She points out that we all have had to develop coping mechanisms, and invites listeners to examine how they have confronted and survived past changes. No two people react in the same way to change, we are reminded.
Your Personal Program for Managing Change can be employed by itself or in conjunction with a workshop. Whether used alone or as part of a larger intervention, it is an excellent resource and a real service to the field. In a convenient and low-cost format, the audio tape offers organizations a useful mechanism for guiding people through the trial of major change. For managers who can't bring themselves to invest much money for workshops on the psychological aspects of change, giving this tape to employees has to be one of the least expensive approaches. For managers who feel it's not quite respectable to talk about personal feelings on the job, here is a private means for exploring why they feel gripped with anxiety, anger, or guilt as they try to carry out a downsizing." -- Kent D. Fairfield, The Lamplighter, the NY Metro American Society for Training & Development Newsletter
From the Publisher
This 66-minute audio tape gives you a fresh approach for dealing with today's business environment. It gives you a valuable overview of the change process, explains how to understand and accept your own reactions, and gives you ways to guide those you supervise through periods of organizational transition. It is especially useful for downsizing survivors, anyone coping with career change, job loss, people resistant to new technology, or who find change difficult (whether it is the result of circumstances out of their control, or they choose it themselves).
Side 1: Managing Yourself shows you how to look at your own attitudes, feelings and beliefs about change and then discusses nine assumptions about change.
Side 2: Managing Others presents five strategies for helping others handle change.
