OVERRIDE
You weren't hired to ask permission. You were hired to deliver results.
Machiavelli. Sun Tzu. Alinsky. Now You.
The Reality
80% of AI projects fail. Not because the technology doesn't work.
of AI transformation projects fail to deliver expected value
of workers actively resist new technology adoption
of transformations fail without structured methodology
The problem isn't your technology, your budget, or your timeline. The problem is that the people who should want AI transformation are the same people who will lose power, comfort, or relevance when it succeeds.

Who This Book Is For
If You've Ever Thought: “Why Won't They Just Let Me Do My Job?”
The Mid-Level Leader
You see the opportunity. You have the mandate. But the organization won't move. You need tactics, not theory.
The AI Practitioner
You can build the solution. But nobody asked you to. And the people who should want it are actively fighting it.
The Change Agent
You've read the change management books. They assumed rational actors and good faith. Your organization has neither.
Stop Asking for Permission.
