“In Leading Through Resistance, Tod Bolsinger takes on a few new roles: guide, wise sage, Jedi Master, family systems counselor, and therapist . . . all to get us to look at the ways we tend to push back when resistance shows up. I absolutely love the approachable way Tod teaches a combination of contemplative spirituality, family systems theory, and systems thinking in this very important book. If you've been wondering how to take the next step as a leader and grow in your proficiency, this book is a must.”
“Having watched and worked with Tod Bolsinger for many years, I always wanted a more practical way to engage my teams on his important work. This book provides an easily accessible path to do just that! I can't wait to give it to individual staff members facing resistance in their own areas and to use it in times that require adaptive change for our entire church.”
“Leadership is a lot like twirling a baton: it looks easy until you try it! If you are involved in leadership at any level I would highly recommend Tod Bolsinger's Practicing Change Series. It invites those of us in leadership to reflect on and rethink what it means to be a leader and to build a 'in what really makes a difference—transformation.'”
“Can existing organizations really change in order to meet the needs of a changing world? If so, how do we lead that kind of transformation without giving up our core purposes and values? In this book, Tod Bolsinger starts with his love for leaders and then offers engaging stories and practical advice to walk us through the process of leading our organizations to change.”
