48 Patterns for Driving and Sustaining Change in Your Organization
Change. It's brutally tough to initiate, even harder to sustain. It takes too long. People resist it.

But without it, organizations lose their competitive edge. Fortunately, you can succeed at making change. In Fearless Change, Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising illuminate 48 proven techniques, or patterns, for implementing change in organizations or teams of all sizes, and show you exactly how to use them successfully.

Find out how to
Understand the forces in your organization that drive and retard change
Plant the seeds of change
Drive participation and buy-in, from start to finish
Choose an "official skeptic" to sharpen your thinking
Make your changes appear less threatening
Find the right timing and the best teaching moments
Sustain your momentum
Overcome adversity and celebrate success

Inspired by the "pattern languages" that are transforming fields from software to architecture, the authors illuminate patterns for every stage of the change process: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. These flexible patterns draw on the experiences of hundreds of leaders. They offer powerful insight into change-agent behavior, organizational culture, and the roles of every participant.

Best of all, they're easy to use—and they work!
