This book will be of interest to anyone who is trying to introduce a new idea of any kind into an organization of any size. We have all those "powerless leaders" in mind because we have seen that everyone, at any level in an organization, feels powerless when trying to change the minds of others.

The pattern collection has evolved over several years thanks to many pattern originators and countless others who have provided comments, pattern uses, and other feedback. Even though the book has now been published, we continue to care for these patterns and would like to hear from all of you, our readers. We are always happy to answer any questions about the specific sources and the patterns.
