Patterns for introducing new ideas
Have you ever tried to introduce a
new idea into your organization?
Even though change is difficult, leaders can't avoid it. So wouldn't it be wonderful if people who have successfully introduced a new idea into an organization could share their stories with you?
Our book, Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas is the next best thing.
We have gathered proven strategies for leading a change initiative. To do this, we heard numerous experiences from people leading change in a variety of sizes and types of organizations throughout
the world. While doing this, we documented our observations, read publications on the topics of
change and influence, studied how change agents throughout history have tackled the problems
they faced, and exposed our work for comment and feedback.
Change is hard. Leaders will struggle and so will the people they are trying to convince. But the stories of success we have heard show that there is hope. You need three things to introduce your idea: your
belief in it, the determination to act on your belief, and some information on how to bring the idea
into your organization. You supply the first two; the patterns in Fearless Change provide the third.
