"Finally! A practical approach to this world of uncertainty we all inhabit. As leaders, we all know that the increasing rate of change in our environment is here to stay. What Hodgson and White offer that is new is a measured approach with real, concrete steps we can take to help us embrace and exploit change with greater creativity and confidence. Ms. Ellen McCoy, former CIO Mobil Oil "In today¿s complex and dynamic times Phil Hodgson and Randy White¿s thoughtful piece on ambiguity is a godsend. It provides as thoughtful a treatment of ambiguity as any piece of work and is of great service for anyone managing in today¿s times. I highly recommend this book." Blair H. Sheppard, President and CEO, Duke Corporate Education, Inc. "Practical, wise, insightful, varied ... this book challenges business leaders to think and behave out of the box, in the process growing their understanding that uncertainty and confusion can be faced productively and entrepreneurally." Professor Leslie Hannah, MA, DPhil, PhD, CEO of Ashridge Management College "It is often said that we live in a time of change, but what we see at present is more than that. Whole industries are in turmoil and we are faced with abandoning many of the things we have done in the past. Ambiguity is rife. This book moves the discussion on leadership in an age of uncertainty to a new level. It is alive with cases, wisdom and excellent advice" Sir Brian Pitman FCIB CIMgt, Chairman of LLoyds TSB Group plc "Intriguing - a fast ride through uncertainty and how to deal with it. White and Hodgson pack a thousand pages worth of insight and tips into this brief volume." Michael Lombardo, Lominger Ltd. "In today's world, if you are not leading change, you are not really leading. Relax It's Only Uncertainty will provide valuable insights as you meet the challenge of the future. A useful diagnostic and the practical insights of a trusted confidant of top executives are well worth the investment of a few hours of your time. Paul Hogan, Vice Chairman and Chief Risk Officer, Fleet Boston Financial Corporation. "This timely book concludes all of the arguments we have heard regarding managing and leading and places leaders exactly where they should be: permanently at the forefront of market and business innovation. The authors bring an area that we thought we always intuitively understood into clear focus and provide a framework for identifying and developing leaders who will not only drive meaningful change, but also thrive in these uncertain times." Alphonsus Keogh, Director Global Programs, Siemens AG "Relax, it¿s only uncertainty points out eight factors that block a leader¿s ability to deal with an uncertain future. One is preoccupation with the past that is known and familiar. This book is a guide and "wake up call" for anyone worried about the future of their organization ¿ whether it will keep up or get left behind. Organizations with leaders like the ones described here are much more likely to be successful. The others are heading toward tough times."

Seller provided good communications and tracking number. Packaging could have been better; 3 hardback books shipped in plastic bag mailer that arrived with a good-sized tear in it. Thankfully none of the books were damaged or lost. Will certainly consider future purchases from this seller!
