"WHO KILLED CHANGE"
So, who or what is killing change? Ken Blanchard’s delightful whodunit answers this question as it introduces a Columbo-style detective,
Agent Mike McNally, who’s investigating the murder of yet another Change. One by one, Agent McNally interviews prime suspects that everyone
will recognize from their own workplace. And in the end, Agent McNally solves the case in a way that will inspire readers to become effective
Change Agents in their own organization.
This unique business book reveals that one of the main reasons change initiatives fail is that change leaders do not surface and address the concerns of those being asked to change. In addition, leaders do not get their people involved in the process and allow them to influence it. A common reason cited for not including people in the change is that the change sponsors believe that people are naturally resistant to change. Instead of involving them in the process, it seems smarter to “sell” them on the benefits of changing as a way to overcome their resistance. This is misguided. The reality is that people are not so much resistant to change as they are resistant to being controlled. When organizations try to sell change to people affected by the change instead of involving them and addressing their concerns, they doom their change initiatives to failure. |

"GREEDY BONES"
Sarah Booth Delaney, a Southern belle known for abiding by tradition only when it suits her, is no stranger to drama. A talented actress and a P.I., she's chosen to pursue a career in Hollywood when she hears that her best friend's husband is suddenly on his deathbed back home in Mississippi---and he's not the only one. The vicious illness begins with burning fevers and delirium, quickly plunging its victims into a coma. The Centers for Disease Control is on the scene, but they can't find a cure for it or the boll weevils that are decimating Sunflower County's cotton crop. With patients in quarantine and the whole town in crisis, Sarah drops everything to stop the outbreak and save the only place she's ever been able to call home.
From feuding scientists to ailing locals, there is no shortage of bad blood coursing through the little town of Zinnia, Mississippi, as Carolyn Haines's often steamy and always charming series turns equally intense in Greedy Bones.

"ONE OKTOBER"
The oil has been there forever.
Billions of barrels lie fat and petulant in Tamyr, daring the Russians to realize their dream of economic parity. But Europe won’t buy Russian oil. They remember the Bear. An idea takes hold, to awaken the discarded Soviet sleeper agents still in America. They will re-ignite old ties to the Islamite terror gangs. Together, they will raise the price of oil, save Russia, and fund AlQaeda in the coming war of terror. Gomez is tasked to escort Viktorina Viisky, purportedly with some Russian Ministry or other. More administrative folly. But Viisky, also, is no administrator. She is leading him, clumsily, to ex-Soviet agents who were planted in America in the eighties and left to rot. Viisky spins a tale— that the sleepers have awoken—are once again involved in their Cold War sponsorship of the terror groups. Indeed, it may have something to do with the Towers. Gomez puts it together quickly— the sleepers, the oil and Nine-Eleven. Now, he must unravel Viisky, and find Stuart Rafkin, before Nine-Eleven leads to… One Oktober. |

Good thing Avery has more faith in her boyfriend than in ghosts. Their renovations are quickly interrupted when a presence is felt – and it’s not happy with the new alterations. Could it really be that the property is possessed? If they’re going to flip this house, all the outdated fixtures – including the supernatural squatters – must be disposed of, or else this project will haunt them forever... |
