Why do 60–70 percent of change efforts fail — even when everyone agrees they’re necessary? Because most organizations try to manage change with logic and process while ignoring the human software underneath it: Fear, Ego, and Culture.

In FEC’d UP!, leadership expert James Jeffley shows how these invisible forces quietly shape behavior, stall progress, and protect the status quo. Drawing on decades of experience developing leaders and facilitating organizational transformation, he offers a practical, compassionate look at what resistance really is — a natural instinct to protect what feels safe or familiar.

Through stories, insights, and reflection questions, readers discover how to recognize the “FEC Beast” at work in their teams and learn strategies to lead with empathy, clarity, and courage.

FEC’d UP! helps leaders, coaches, and changemakers understand why progress gets stuck — and what can finally move it forward.
