James Dallas' Mastering the Challenges of Leading Change is an informative, insightful guide to effectively leading the transition through change. While most change management books present case studies about what happened at other companies, this book is based on the author's own experiences managing over 10 transformational and turnaround initiatives, 15 acquisition integrations, and 5 operations/quality shared services centers of excellence. By relating personal lessons learned, how they were subsequently applied, and how you can benefit from them, this book provides a unique first-hand perspective on successful agents of change. You'll learn the qualities and skills required to usher in the new paradigm, and how to break a large initiative into manageable chunks that are more likely to proceed as planned. By crafting your strategy based on proven methods, you're far and away more likely to meet or even exceed your change objectives.
The majority of change initiatives fail because people mistakenly think that a change agent is the same as a project leader. They're not. This book shows you why, and how get the tools, strategies, and people you need at the helm of your initiative to come out the other side much stronger as an organization.
Change is occurring within and across all industries, countries, and organizations. They begin with the best of intentions, but most fail to meet their objectives. Don't let your organization be one of the failures. Mastering the Challenges of Leading Change shows you how to plan, lead, and manage a successful transition.

If you've led projects, you know the three Ts of project management—tasks, timing, and technologies. But, when real change needs to occur to gain a competitive edge, the Ts aren't enough, which is why on average 75 percent of change initiatives fail. You can elevate your status and increase your value as a change leader by becoming an authority on the four Ps of change leadership explained in Mastering the Challenges of Leading Change.
Written by a change leader with an extensively triumphant track record that includes more than 10 transformational and turnaround initiatives, 20 acquisition integrations, five operations/quality shared services centers of excellence, and three innovation centers—this game-changing guide is conveniently organized around the four cornerstones of the author's personal approach to managing change: priorities, politics, people, and perseverance. With the casual forthrightness of a trusted mentor, he steps beyond one-dimensional analytics and demonstrates how engaging people, both inside and outside the company, produces the meaningful solutions leading to success. Spearheading change doesn't come from a formula; instead it emerges from relationships developed with honest communication and informed decision making. James Dallas demonstrates this through firsthand accounts of how he made it happen, repeatedly, in the field. A wealth of concrete best practices packaged in handy checklists will let you apply your knowledge easily and begin mastering the art of:
Change is essential for a business to sustain growth regardless of industry, country, or organizational structure, but it cannot come from external goals.
