Make Waves encourages readers to step up and be the one to initiate change in their work and lives. Author Patti B. Johnson walks readers through the tools and techniques that they can use to create change in their own situations; elaborating on these tools gives readers a sense of how to encourage and instill these "wave-making" behaviors within their organization. Using case studies as illustrative examples, Make Waves highlights the important steps that individuals can take toward positive change, bridging the gap between desires and actions necessary to realize bigger changes.
