Get everyone along

Longlisted for Management Book of the Year 2025!

• Why does change often fail and how do you prevent this?
• How do you effectively deal with resistance and change sceptics?
• How do you create a culture of experimentation where colleagues continuously innovate?

According to research, 30 to 70 percent of all change processes fail. In ‘Zo krijg je iedereen mee’ (Get everyone along), internationally renowned change expert Lisette van de Sandt reveals how, as a manager, you transform resistance into change motivation by experimenting together.

Explore the unique combination of focus on the human side of change, behavioural and neuroscience and practical applicability. Immerse yourself in stories of successful and failed change initiatives, understand the psychology behind them and immediately apply the practical tools and experiments. You’ll also find favourite change tips from leaders at organisations such as ASML, the Dutch National Police, Rabobank, and ProRail.

Rest assured: you don’t need to get your people on board one by one to make the change successful. What you do need, you’ll discover in this book.

Currently available in Dutch — German and English versions planned for 2026.

'In a world that is rapidly changing and where large-scale transitions are upon us simultaneously, agile professionals are needed who adaptively respond to a constantly changing environment. What makes the book Zo krijg je iedereen mee unique is the combination of theory and practice, which has resulted in a set of valuable tools to successfully shape change within organisations.'

‘That we need to change in our organisations, we all know by now. But that does not mean that we are then happy to do so and embrace change. In her book, Lisette gives a lot of pointers, with appealing titles such as ‘resisters', 'change roller coaster' and 'rattles and bombs'. It automatically makes you smile. These are the books I like to read; and they are well-organised, with lots of tips. Let the next change come soon!'
