Immunity to Change
Immunity to Change: How to Overcome it and Unlock Potential in Yourself and Your Organization | Robert Kegan, Lisa Laskow Lahey
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.

🎤 Hello, I‘m Leah and I‘m a procrastinator.

It‘s not something I try to hide; most ppl IRL know this about me. But it‘s a habit I loathe.

So for the past year I‘ve been working to uncover the why behind this behavior. I spent over 3 months on this book alone. It‘s effective, but I wish there were a standalone version with a non-work slant rather than the predominantly professional / organizational focus in this edition.

flying_monkeys Here‘s another book that‘s really helped me make progress. This one has action steps (not just focused on theory) 6y
