The Science of Change

In The Science of Change, Richard E. Boyatzis channels fifty years of research on behavior change through Intentional Change Theory (ICT), offering a comprehensive framework for understanding and supporting lasting transformation. The book details a five-phase cycle that begins with envisioning an ideal self and moves through stages of self-examination, learning, experimentation, and relationship-building. Boyatzis emphasizes the significance of shared visions and resonant relationships in driving meaningful change, demonstrating the model's applicability across diverse contexts, from personal growth to community and organizational initiatives.
