Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change

Seventy percent of organizational change initiatives fail — and the reason has almost nothing to do with strategy, resources, or leadership commitment. It has everything to do with what's happening inside the human brain.

Required reading for every executive navigating organizational change in the AI era.

The percentage of organizational change initiatives that fail — a number that hasn't moved in 30 years of research.

This book is about that gap. And the neuroscience that finally explains it.

Inside the Book

Six Barriers.
Six Responses.
One Complete Neurological Map for Leaders.

01

Why Your Strongest People Stall

Why even your best performers resist, revert, or go quiet during change — and what’s happening neurologically when they do.

02

Resistance as a Check Engine Light

How to read resistance as information, not opposition — a signal pointing to hidden fears, unmet needs, and overlooked losses.

03

Six Barrier-Response Pairs

The six neurological barriers that predictably surface during change — and the specific leadership approach paired with each one.

04

Tools Built for the Field

Practical tools, reflective prompts, and real stories from Fortune 500 transformations — delivered with the honesty of someone who’s been in the room.

Travis has written the book the change management industry has needed for 20 years. The neuroscience is rigorous. The frameworks are immediately usable. And the writing is as compelling as the science.
