Immunity To Change

A recent study showed that when doctors tell heart patients they will die if they do not change their habits, only one in seven will be able to follow through successfully. Desire and motivation are not enough: even when it is literally a matter of life or death, the ability to change remains maddeningly elusive. So, 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 mindsets 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. By pinpointing and uprooting our own immunities to change, we can bring our organizations forward with us. This book delivers the tools you need to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.
