"The Hero's Journey: A Guide to Transition Your Heroes through Turbulent Change"
Jeffrey Mangrum
International Speaker & Founder
SST Communications
Restructuring... Rightsizing... Merger/Acquisition... sometimes we pick our adventure, sometimes it picks us. Change is the alteration of an organisation and/or its processes. Transition is how we reconcile ourselves with that change. Because change interrupts the smooth flow of the lives of all affected by it, rarely do people readily embrace the challenges and opportunities that come with transition. "The Hero's Journey" will provide you with the tools and skills you and your supervisors/managers need to help transition your "Heroes" well through turbulent change.
