The emphasis on honoring personality differences within organizational change is the "prime directive" for Barger (management consultant to firms such as AT&T and Hewlett Packard) and Kirby (trainer, writer, editor, and professor). They rely heavily on the Myers-Briggs paradigm to identify how employees will react and contribute to organizational change. The book frames the idea of psychological type, type perspectives, and how organizations can support people during periods of change. They provide practical, specific strategies for mobilizing employees while acknowledging the panic, grief, and loss of identity which often accompanies downsizing.
