Praise for LOVE AS A CHANGE STRATEGY When people feel heard, cared for and part of the shared purpose, they will not fear or fight the change that is inevitable in today's organizations. Let Love as a Change Strategy be your roadmap to a change-embracing organization! -BOB CHAPMAN, CEO at Barry-Wehmiller and Author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family Another great book in the 'Love as' series, tackling the topic of change management with the added elements of culture and humanity. The reader will be challenged to consider long overdue and necessary changes preventing the organization from boldly moving forward without completely disrupting morale and stability. The authors offer personal insights and honest examples to help readers take bold action in practical and considerate ways. I predict this book will be on the shelf of every leader who drives change within their organization, as well as extra copies for those they mentor. Well done! -KRISTI PITTMAN, Senior Vice President, Human Resources at Daikin North America This new text offers a deeply authentic and urgently needed framework for personal and organizational transformation grounded in love-not as sentimentality, but as courageous, vulnerable action. What makes this book compelling is its unflinching candor and the way it invites you into a practical yet profound reimagining of leadership, healing, and community. Only read it if you're ready to disrupt harmful norms and re-center humanity in your systems of change. -DR. JOHN SANCHEZ, Clinical Assistant Professor in Mays Business School at Texas A&M University A wonderful companion to Love as a Business Strategy, Love as a Change Strategy demonstrates that love is not prohibitive but liberative, and that the antithesis of love is not hate but fear. When used with sincerity and curiosity, love becomes the secret sauce that promotes a change-readiness mindset. A must-read for leaders at all levels! -ESMAEIL PORSA, MD, MBA, MPH, CCHP-A, President and CEO at Harris Health System While people drive change, it starts with you. Embracing change is so hard, but perhaps LOVE is all you need to align, rally, and celebrate your people as they power through it. This book packs in fun, relatable stories with actionable ideas to lean into the pain, get into a growth mindset, and make stuff happen! -JASON McCANN, CEO at Vari Love as a Change Strategy makes it abundantly clear why the necessary, and most challenging, aspect of leading change is first taking 'a good, long look at yourself.' Learning the value of self-awareness from the authors' own stories prepares the reader to guide others on the journey to successful change. -DR.
