Important Reminders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I was privileged to hear Dr. Bradt speak at an investment conference. The presentation was powerful, and when I later read the book, I could tell that the important insights came not just from academic observation but from convictions gained through personal experience. Rubble happens to all of us, and when it does, Dr. Bradt provides some approaches to use it as a pathway to something better. It sort of reminds me of the biblical phrase, "What was intended for evil, God intended for good." I highly recommend this enjoyable, insightful and very readable book.
An Outstanding Book on Change
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
We've all heard the cliche, "It's not what happens to you. It is how you respond to it." That sounds easy until you are the one having to deal with it. Then the platitudes sound hollow unless of course you have read Gary Bradt's excellent book. I liked this book A LOT because Bradt offers practical advice that works if you are going through change or leading others through it. The premise is deceptively simple - when things around you feel as if they have collapsed into a pile of rubble, there is a positive outcome if you will simply start digging. I found the metaphor of "digging through change" struck a chord of realism, and the fact that this is an expert who has lived the lessons he teaches is a real plus. Your ability to embrace change on a personal level and lead others to do so on an organizational level determines, in many cases, the results you achieve. If you want to win you have to keep digging, and this book shows you how. Randy Pennington, author Results Rule!: Build a Culture That Blows the Competition Away
Ring in the Rubble: A must read book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Gary Bradt, a first-time author, does an amazing job explaining how it is possible to create a positive experience out of a stressful, negative one. The story of his son's dramatic recovery from a tragic illness is inspirational and emotional. Bradt explains how even this awful experience became a positive one in his life. There was much to learn from reading the individual stories he relates."Ring in the Rubble" is both educational as well as exciting to read.
Very practical and interesting resource for navigating change

Congratulations to Gary Bradt on such a great first book! The Ring in the Rubble really is a gem. Bradt weaves together stories from his own life, those of clients, and others to provide practical insights for dealing with change. The Ring maintains a very personal feel while drawing on solid theoretical foundations. I found it hard to put down. Yesterday I ordered two more copies so that I can have one to loan and a second to give to a pastor and friend who is in the midst of an unanticipated job transition. I highly recommend The Ring in the Rubble for both those coping with change and those who are helping others in the midst of change (I guess that includes about everyone).
