We find that there are significant links with the Posner change model we highlighted in a previous post (http://www.qnlp.co.uk/leading_change/). The latest CIPD employee outlook survey found that fewer than half of our 2,000 respondents felt either “fully” or “fairly [...]

If diets work, why is it that so many of us are continually on one? Could it be that dieting only deals with the calorific aspect – and we need something more? If the diet industry met all of their claims their would be few overweight people. If dieting works, why are we facing an ever [...]
