Transforming Work was the first book to explore the concept of
transformational change, its principles, dynamics, and
technologies. In 1982, many organizational consultants began using
the concept of "transformation" because they found it more
descriptive of their work than the concept of "development."
Changes in organizational life and processes had become more
complex, and the outcomes less certain, than the traditional
practice of "Organizational Development" could address. This Second
Edition of Transforming Work contains the original collection of 17
chapters from these pioneering consultants, plus their updated
reflections on their work at the turn of the century. John D.
Adams, Ph.D. is a professor, speaker, author, consultant, and
seminar leader. He has been at the forefront of the Organization
Development and Transformation profession for over 35 years. His
early articulation of issues facing organizations has provided a
guiding light for the evolution of organization and change
management consulting. Adams currently serves as the Chair of the
Organizational Systems Ph.D. Program at the Saybrook Graduate
School (San Francisco), and is a guest faculty member at The
Bainbridge Island Graduate Institute in the MBA in Sustainability
program. He also served as editor for two seminal works,
Transforming Work and Transforming Leadership, both widely held as
defining a new role for the Organization Development profession in
a rapidly transforming world.
Life Changes provides those who are undergoing significant changes
in their lives with an easy to follow road map of the normal ups
and downs in the adjustment process. The seven stages of any
transition process are described with clear advice about what to
expect and, more importantly, what can be learned from each stage.
Whatever the transition might be - the death of a loved one, a new
job, a divorce or a marriage - the authors point out that people
can either "go" through change or they can "grow" through change.
It's up to the individual. The book also provides additional
support for people making life changes, as the authors give advice
on clarifying life purpose, protecting health, and maintaining
balance during and after these major transitions.
Transforming Leadership is an outgrowth and extension of
Transforming Work, acknowledging and exploring the crucial role of
the organizational leadership in transformational change. This was
the first practical guide for organizational leaders who wished to
implement the concepts of "vision," "alignment," "work spirit," and
"purpose" in their organizations. This Second Edition contains the
original 20 chapters, plus the authors' reflections on their work
at the turn of the century. John D. Adams, Ph.D. is a professor,
speaker, author, consultant, and seminar leader. He has been at the
forefront of the Organization Development and Transformation
