As organizations face nonstop change, rising pressure, and growing resistance to transformation, leadership expert and CIO Saby Waraich announces the release of his new book, SCARE to CARES: Leading Digital Transformations Without Chaos.
While billions are spent on digital and organizational change each year, many initiatives stall or collapse - not because the tools fail, but because leaders and teams become overwhelmed. SCARE to CARES addresses this challenge head-on by focusing on how leaders show up when the pressure is high and decisions matter most.
Drawing from decades of real-world experience leading complex initiatives across government, education, and enterprise environments, Waraich introduces the CARES framework: Communicate, Adapt, Relationships, Empower, and Stay Calm - a practical leadership model designed to help teams move from stress, resistance, and uncertainty to clarity and steady progress.
“When leaders feel rushed or reactive, teams feel it immediately,” said Waraich. “This book is about slowing the moment down, leading with intention, and helping people move forward without burning out or breaking trust.”
Rather than relying on theory, SCARE to CARES is grounded in lived leadership moments - including tough decisions, crisis situations, and large-scale transformation efforts. The book offers practical lessons leaders can apply whether they are guiding digital change, managing organizational shifts, or rebuilding trust after disruption.
The book features a foreword by Jack Canfield, co-creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul®, who describes SCARE to CARES as a timely guide for leaders responsible for guiding people through uncertainty.
