The change initiatives have been agreed-upon. The reasoning behind each initiative is clear and compelling. Well-crafted communications have been printed. Tightly choreographed kick-off meetings held. And still, change does not happen as expected. Turf battles rage. Heels dig in. Team breakdowns slow the pace of key initiatives. Deadlines are missed and results suffer. Does this sound familiar?

Recent studies have shown that between 70 percent and 90 percent of all change initiatives fail completely or at best fall short of their intended goals and timetables. HR executives, who are often tasked with leading organizational change programs, find themselves constantly challenged for ways to overcome the fear and inertia that plague so many change initiatives. Moreover, most of what has been written on the topic focuses on what executives need to "do" rather than what they need to "be" in order to be effective change leaders.
