Product Details
- Unlock your potential and finally move forward.A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they don't change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation aren't enough: even when it's literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive.Given that the status quo is so potent, how can we change ourselves and our organizations?In Immunity to Change, authors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey show how our individual beliefs--along with the collective mind-sets in our organizations--combine to create a natural but powerful immunity to change. By revealing how this mechanism holds us back, Kegan and Lahey give us the keys to unlock our potential and finally move forward. And by pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us.This persuasive and practical book, filled with hands-on diagnostics and compelling case studies, delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.

Leadership & Motivation Editorial Review
**** "Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization" by Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey has resonated powerfully with readers, particularly those in coaching and leadership roles. The book elegantly outlines the fundamental reasons behind our resistance to change, distinguishing between technical and adaptive challenges. This distinction is not just theoretical; the authors offer a practical mind-mapping process that enables individuals and teams to recognize and confront their "hidden commitments," which often impede progress towards their improvement goals. Readers have praised the clarity and structure of the mind-mapping technique. They highlight how it delivers insights they may not have seen before, transforming the often chaotic struggle with change into a manageable and insightful journey. The authors emphasize that understanding one’s own hidden commitments is paramount; without this awareness, people find themselves unintentionally holding back their own progress. The book is not just a guide but also a call to embrace continuous personal and well as professional growth. Kegan and Lahey advocate for a broader perspective on learning, urging readers to re-examine their assumptions and cultivate self-awareness to facilitate meaningful change. Most notably, reviewers commend the authors for challenging the misconception that personal growth is limited to early adulthood, encouraging lifelong development. Overall, "Immunity to Change" is seen as a crucial resource for anyone navigating the challenges of personal or organizational growth. Its practical application coupled with profound insights makes it a valuable tool for those willing to embrace the discomfort of self-examination to emerge more effective in their roles. **
