RTSC Spotlight on Rick Maurer and his Free Open Source Project

Rick has been a friend and colleague of mine for a number of years. He's a noted expert in the field of change and in particular has a different take on resistance. What's different? Rick encourages clients to use resistance as a way to build support for your change work by seeking out, listening to, and partnering with those resisting what you are trying to accomplish. This is the same approach I recommended in my article on strategies to use when you don't have senior leadership support for your change work. NBC Nightly News, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Fortune have all sought Rick's counsel on how to, as he says it, Change Without Migraines.

Rick's recently launched his Free Open Source Project. It's an effort that includes free of charge an e-book, outline for a half-day training session, Power Point presentation, and videos on his theory and practice -- and how you can benefit from it, too. It's great material and sure to add value for anyone leading change or consulting to those who do.
