In any organization change is inevitable, in a fast paced environment change happens weekly and sometimes daily. In order to successfully manage and institute change you have to master techniques to gain support from your peers. Without support, the change will fail. Regardless of how high up the change from.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, in order to succeed you must fail. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson while reading Fearless Change (not to mention failing numerous times) and using some of the patterns, it is impossible to institute change by yourself. The book really drove home the thought that “people support what they create” and “people do not resist change as much as the resist being change”.

While this seems like a simple technique, using your peers can help you institute change in an organization with little resistance and even early acceptance.
