Make Change Work for You

January 1, 2015
The CEO of a management consulting firm speaks his mind about facing fear and overcoming it. First-time author Steinberg uses that emotion in terms of managing and moving through change, citing a number of personal and corporate examples, including skateboarder Tony Hawk, recruiting firm Korn Ferry, Steven Spielberg, and J. K. Rowling, who just never, ever gave up, to boost understanding. He gives readers an acronymic methodologyFocus, Engage, Assess, React, or FEARbut only returns to it in the last chapter. He details 10 ways to persevere via some great success stories, yet the must-do's are legion and overwhelming. The good parts? It's easy reading for sure, Steinberg's principles and action steps will evoke violent agreement, and the documented examples at the end of each chapter further emphasize how important facts are to beliefs.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
