"This book is written for leaders involved in or planning
organisational change. It is jargon-free and easy to dip in
and out of. It does not require substantial grounding in
management of change theories, therefore is useful both for
managers facilitating change and also for employees of companies
undergoing a strategic and cultural change as a tool for providing
meaning to those changes." (The British
Psychological Society, 1 June 2013)

"There is some unique quality in the way Jaap Boonstra has
succeeded in bringing together a very rich set of experiences and
recreate them against a background of sound ideas and concepts.
This book offers inspiration that turns into practical cues
for those wanting to manage and change the subtle threads of
organizational culture"--Alfons Sauquet, Dean of
ESADE Business School
