This part is specifically aimed at those who need to manage change in their organization. It uses the situations Jamie faced during his war against junk food and breaks them down into four key lessons to help you manage change more effectively:

• Passion - the belief in what you are trying to achieve, coupled with a clear vision of how you are going to achieve it.
• People - everyone reacts differently to change, there are three types of people that can be clearly identified.
• Planning - careful planning is needed when implementing change and can determine whether it will be accepted or not.
• Perseverance - with change you can nearly always guarantee resistance so determination is a must.

Part 2: A recipe for living with change
In this part we look at how change affects your workforce. Every employee will face change of some kind virtually every day, so it’s vital they know how to cope with it. By showing your employees the four different stages of change, the change process will be much easier to embrace. The stages they can expect to go through are:

• Reject it - the initial reaction to change is always the same – denial. By denying change it’s wrong to assume it will go away.
• Resist it - ‘I was right to think that’ is the next logical reaction. Any explanation, no matter how implausible, can be used to rationalise the initial denial.
• Reflect on it - at this stage previous judgement begins to be questioned. The mind suddenly switches on to the possibilities that change might bring.
• Resolve it - change is welcomed with open arms. The challenge and excitement of new opportunities has triumphed over all the negative perceptions of change.
