Real People, Real Change: Stories of a Change Warrior in the Business World

Business leaders need more than a fancy project plan or process when facing change, whether running a multi-billion dollar corporation or a small company. They need to be armed with the courage and practical advice it will take to blaze new trails and prosper both financially and emotionally. Author Donna Strother Highfill calls leaders of this caliber "Change Warriors."In Real People, Real Change, Highfill offers a behavioral map to guide change warriors through the complex and often confusing maze of change in the business world. At times, even the best leaders need guidance and inspiration to tackle tough situations in their company's culture. Highfilloffers sound advice, humorous stories, and dynamic change lessons for any business leader faced with making meaningful changes within a company. Business leaders must understand that change is seldom neat, clean, or easy. If it is, notes Highfill, then it isn't real change. She believes people want to change, they just need to know why, what, and how. She calls this "learning to inform the head, engage the heart, and put your feet into action." This is the key to successful and lasting change.
