"The Practicing Change Series is compelling and immediately applicable. Each book weaves us through story, illustration, and discussion to contextualize paradigm-shifting frameworks for thinking.

"As usual, Tod Bolsinger takes complex concepts and makes them easy to understand and apply, embedding them in engaging stories and practical counsel for any leader wanting to help their organization to change. He meets us at the stairs to the balcony and invites us up to think deeply and creatively about ourselves and our leadership in changing and challenging times."
"This series is required reading for anyone who wants to lead change. In the very best way, reading these books was like sitting down with a mentor who has done the hard work of leading change himself and wants to help us work through the mistakes, challenges, and dynamics we can't see by ourselves."
"Here's a scary truth: regardless of where you work or what you do for a living, a crisis is coming. In fact multiple crises lie ahead for you because our world is now changing at an unprecedented rate, and those changes will render you and your organization obsolete if you can't find a way to continuously adapt to these coming crises. Leading through these changes will require leaders who aren't afraid to slay some sacred cows, challenge conventional wisdom, and even live outside their own leadership comfort zones. Adaptation will be the single most critical survival skill of the twenty-first century. Tod Bolsinger's four short books in the Practicing Change Series are the 'emergency preparedness drill' that you will be gratefulto have read when the next 'tsunami' hits your organization. Read them now before the next wave hits your shore."
"This book is a punch in the gut, but a good kind of punch! Tod Bolsinger skillfully conveys the power of being clear about mission—or purpose as I like to say. And he brings to life how often a multitude of other things—our desire for approval, comfort, or safety—actually becomes our focus more than our so-called mission. You can't exercise leadership without passionate clarity around purpose. This book shows you why and how to bring that to life in your life."
"Leadership is a lot like twirling a baton: it looks easy until you try it! If you are involved in leadership at any level I would highly recommend Tod Bolsinger's Practicing Change Series. It invites those of us in leadership to reflect on and rethink what it means to be a leader and to build a 'in what really makes a difference—transformation.'"
