As I started revisions to improve my book, I discovered something unexpected. The working title I have been using, "Make Change Happen: A Leader's Guide in Times of Constant Change," is not unique. There are other authors who have published similarly named books.

Since my goal is to gives readers the skills they need to lead people through change, and to become better leaders, this is another moment where I get to practice what I preach!
