Change Better: Survive — and Thrive — During Change at Work and Throughout Life by Jeanenne LaMarsh, a professional business consultant specializing in organizational change, is her useful life skills development advice guide, geared especially towards adapting to changes in your workplace due to economic crisis, free courtesy of publisher Agate's B2 imprint.
This has previously been offered free in 2013.
Currently free, probably just until the weekend @
B&N and
Amazon (not available to Canadians), and may possibly show up as a DRM-free PDF download directly @
the publisher's website in another day or so.
I must say, I'm pleased to see Agate starting to once again offer their freebies at B&N too, as well as directly for international Gentle Readers, and hopefully they'll also do them via Kobo again (where Agate are couponable, BTW).
Description
Due to the economic crisis, organizations are accelerating the dramatic changes they're making in the way they run their businesses. Employees, faced with these rapid and often undesirable changes, need help — and so do the organizations they work for. If change is going to be a constant in people’s lives and the number and type of changes are going to happen faster, it is imperative that people develop the ability to live in this constantly changing world without feeling like victims, but rather like partners in the changes they face.
Change Better is about how to develop the critical skills and tools necessary to cope with change at work and in one's personal life. These skills and the tools that go with them help people gain control over the changes in their lives. Jeanenne LaMarsh shows the ways in which readers can help themselves to change and the ways in which they will be able to accept, deal with, and maximize change with the greatest speed and least pain.
