Make Change Work: Staying Nimble, Relevant, and Engaged in a World of Constant Change

Praise for Make Change Work

“I could rename this book, How Tulips, Dodo Birds, and Coyotes Changed the Way I Think about Change. Interested now? You should be. This book is the most fascinating, practical book about dealing with change I’ve ever read.”

—Larry WingetTelevision personality and best-selling author of Grow a Pair: How to Stop Being a Victim and Take Back Your Life, Your Business, and Your Sanity

“Make Change Work is the best book I have read on the real inner workings of change. It could have easily been called The Future Belongs to the Coyote. Pennington does a great job of equating the emotional side of change with the pragmatic, ‘let’s get it done’ side. Lessons for the future rest on these pages, no matter how many change scenarios we might have dealt with as managers.”

—Gary NelonChairman, First Texas Bancorp

“The highest praise I can give a book: ‘You will use it.’ Randy Pennington has written an extraordinary book about change (and leadership, and culture, and execution, and more) that you won’t just enjoy reading; you will use the ideas in it the second you put it down. From his thoughts on ‘what’s on top of your refrigerator’ to ‘unpacking the baggage,’ you’ll be thinking ‘I can do that’ and ‘We have to do that’ and ‘Why haven’t we done that?’ and then you’ll do it. Let me say it flat out, Randy Pennington is the best business writer I know, and this book will significantly impact and improve the way you do business.”
