In their classic work, Fearless Change, Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising interviewed successful leaders of change, identified 48 patterns for implementing change in teams of all sizes, and demonstrated how to use these techniques effectively. Now, in More Fearless Change the authors reflect on all they’ve learned about their original patterns in the past decade, and introduce 15 powerful, new techniques–all extensively validated by change leaders worldwide. Manns and Rising teach strategies that appeal to each individual’s logic (head), feelings (heart), and desire to contribute (hands)–the best way to motivate real change and sustain it for the long haul.

- Uncover easier paths towards change, and build on what already works
- Sustain momentum, provide time for reflection, and celebrate small successes
More Fearless Change reflects a profound understanding of how real change happens: not instantaneously in response to top-down plans and demands, but iteratively, through small steps that teach from experience.

Praise for More Fearless Change
“The hard part of change is enlisting the support of other people. Whether a top manager interested in improving your organization’s results or a lone developer promoting a better way of working, this book will give you tools and ideas to help accomplish your goal. Best of all, they’re presented in small, digestible bits.”
–George Dinwiddie, independent coach and consultant, iDIA Computing, LLC
“More Fearless Change is a great book. Through real experiences and concise analysis, Linda and Mary Lynn identify patterns that will help change leaders quantify the situations they often face. From there, they provide practical advice for dealing with and overcoming them. I found every pattern in More Fearless Change took me back to a specific place and time where I struggled to find the right approach to articulate my ‘great’ new idea and connect with the people around me. I went from conference talks and challenging questions from skeptics to meetings with colleagues where I failed to convey practical new solutions, or to quiet times on my own where I was downright frustrated with my progress. Linda and Mary Lynn have patterns for each that helped me think through to practical, positive solutions and prepare for the future. For a topic as challenging as organization change, it’s rare to find a collection of patterns that are as powerful as those you’ll find in More Fearless Change.”
–Neil Johnson, principal hardware consultant, XtremeEDA
“More secret sauce for positive organizational change! Mary Lynn and Linda make it sound so easy, but using their building blocks, it actually is. With books like these, change agents won’t run out of steam while resistors will run out of excuses.”
–Jochen (Joe) Krebs, author of Going Lean, Agile coach, trainer, speaker, and incrementor
“Keep the patterns in this book and Fearless Change handy. Whenever you are frustrated by an intractable problem, choose a pattern to try. If you still don’t get the desired results, try another. Others will join in your efforts, and you’ll feel the satisfaction as small successes start to add up. These patterns transformed me from an ineffective ‘voice in the wilderness’ to a valued collaborator.”
–Lisa Crispin, co-author (with Janet Gregory) of Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and Agile Teams (Addison-Wesley, 2009) and More Agile Testing (Addison-Wesley, 2015)
“Fearless Change and now More Fearless Change are required reading for my doctoral students. As they explore emerging issues and are learning new concepts and ideas, my students have been able to make significant changes to their professional workplace using these patterns for introducing new ideas. We look forward to Even More Fearless Change.”
–Fred Grossman, professor and director of doctoral study in computing, Pace University, New York
“This book, More Fearless Change, is creative work. I use these patterns with my students to take innovation into practice, and also with my collaborators working in industries to promote organizational change. This book is a significant read for people in academia and in the workplace.”
–Takashi Iba, associate professor, Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University, Japan

By Lisa Crispin The original _Fearless Change_ has helped me and my teams get people to try experiments and make our biggest problems smaller. This new book has more patterns, more examples of how to use them, more stories of how other people with problems similar to our own have been able to instigate change for the good. I keep it on my desk and refer to it when I see a problem or feel up against a wall of resistance to change. You might try a pattern that doesn't work for your situation, but there's always another one to try.I've been in a couple of situations where even these patterns didn't help, but that is good information too. The patterns keep me sane and keep me motivated to do what I can to work better. Maybe you need to start with a Wake Up Call and encourage people to take note of a pressing issue. Maybe the Town Hall Meeting will help you organize an event to involve people and get feedback. I find it so inspiring to read the patterns and decide which to try for my immediate problem. _More Fearless Change_ gives me courage!

Improved Patterns For Change Agents (at any scale) By Steve Berczuk The first edition of Fearless Change was a valuable source of information and inspiration for those who wanted to introduce new ideas into their organizations successfully. True to it's title More Feareless Change, is all that and more. Even if you were lucky enough to have discovered and read the earlier book, this edition is worth a look, as the patterns have been revised based on the authors experience.Full of stories and examples, More Fearless Change has actionable advice you can apply to the problems you face as a change agent, regardless of your role, or the kind of organzation you are working in. One critique with many good patterns books is that they contain no new information. Patterns are by definition a way to document established good forms and practices that recur with good results. That what you will read here may seem like "common sense" to some does not diminish their value, as "common" sense is not the same as "universal sense."The book is easy to read and navigate. You may want to read it from cover to cover once to understand the scope of the patterns, but you can also read the first part of the book, and skim patterns that seem like they would apply to your situation. I recommend at least skimming the entire book, lest you miss a pattern that is more applicable to the situation you are in.If you are struggling with intruding a new idea into your workgroup, company, or volunteer organization, this book will help you to understand what is possible, and inspire you to move forward. If you are an experienced change agent, the book will help energize you and help you escape any ruts you may be in by having been successful with the same subset of approaches.

Practical book for dealing with change By Ben Linders The patterns described in More Fearless Change help you to recognize situations and to come up with solutions for dealing with them. A very practical book!Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising did a great job in this updated and extended version of Fearless Change. The experiences added to the existing patterns help you to get a deeper understanding, and the patterns that they added are vary valuable.If you are dealing with change in organizations (and who isn't nowadays) then I highly recommend to read this book and keep it close to you, as it will be useful at many times!
