All right, We've looked at values and attitudes, now let's read about Change Readiness.

Once again, the chapter offers a quiz.  This time, it's a list of eight statements, which the reader evaluates on a scale of 1-5, with 1 being "Almost never true" and 5 being "Definitely true". Junk mail comes in handy as I use the back of an envelope to review the statements...

And my total score is 18, or the high end of "Difficulty dealing with change."  I guess that's somewhat true... I like novelty, but I am a pessimist, so "unknown" frequently translates into "long list of things that will (not might) go wrong."

That's fair, and worth contemplating as I go forward... but once again, the book doesn't (yet?) offer any thoughts on what to do about it.

Tune in next time, when we finally move on to Chapter 4!
