you move swiftly and efficiently through the growing pains of organizational
change."

"What a
great uncluttered road map for understanding, embracing, and leading
change. We have trained over 10 million leaders worldwide, and change
is their biggest challenge. This book should be next on their reading
list."

Hersey

type people, if they want to read only one book, should read this
one to prepare for the next big organizational change."

clear, and practical throughout. This book takes the mystery out
of engineering successful organizational change."

entrepreneur and management consultant, has managed to assimilate
a highly practical and common-sense approach to addressing change
as a constant way of life in 21st century competitive business.
Change Is the Rule will be among the required reading for my executive
leadership team as we continue to drive for dramatic business growth
and value creation for Texaco in the highly competitive domestic
energy markets."

"This book
is a must read for anyone trying to manage the change process. A
work of art that tells the reader in easy to understand language
how to manage the process. It will serve as a desk reference the
manager or executive can and should use fore a successful outcome.
In a real life application, Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC followed
this process in forming a successful merger of two petroleum companies"

"Workers
throughout most organizations understand, by now, that change is
really the rule. Dutch Holland provides the clearest, most practical
guidance imaginable on integrating the running of any business with
implementing changes necessary to assure future success. His 'dual
perspective' of running the business while changing it is a simple
but powerful and inspiring model!"
Burt Branstetter
Vice President and General Counsel
Chevron USA Production Company
"Simple
ideas often turn out to be winners. Dutch first introduced his simple
winning concept 'Run the Business, Change the Business' to our organization
more than seven years ago. Managers who understand how to organize
and handle these roles have been the key to successful transformation
of our company."
Dave G.
Briny
President

"Dutch
Holland brings home the hard realities of change management and
constructs a practical and thorough blueprint for change formed
from successful application with many diverse clients. The methods
described in his book and used by his form work because they embrace,
from first hand experience, the intricacies of how people effectively
work with change and are boldly led through change."
Alan B.
Markert
VP Finance

"Dutch
is the most down to earth change advocate I have met in my 35 years
of struggling with change. Where else do you have a University of
Texas Ph.D. that will hit you about the head to get your attention?
This book is another example of his 'get involved, make something
happen and go-do' approach to change. This is not academia, this
is the real world!"
Fred Hubbard
Sr. Vice President
Bell Helicopter Textron
"Multiple
rapid changes, successfully executed, will be the key to the 21st
century business. Dutch lays it out - change must be managed. To
expect transformation without good management is a dream. This is
a book that must be 'on the desk' of a successful 21st century CEO"
