First sentence: Implementing change to become more competitive, more cost-effective, and more customer focused is the biggest challenge managers face today.
Description: Basing his work on the pioneering research of Victor Vroom, Dr. Green, assisted by his co-author Butkus, introduces a new management tool to facilitate the people aspects of change: the belief system of motivation and performance. Their book shows that managing change requires building support from a highly motivated workforce; that most strategies today overlook the emotional factor in change; and that only by addressing the motivational and emotional problems associated with change can management implement change successfully.

With anecdotes, case histories, and a clear exposition of the "belief system's" theoretical underpinnings and its nuts-and-bolts methods, Green and Butkus provide critical insights into the pitfalls in the implementation process, and workable guidance on how to avoid them.
