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. When it comes to change, desire and motivation aren t enough. Kegan and Lahey examine why change is so hard and offer innovative, practical insight to overcome the internal and external obstacles and to meet the challenge of change. Anne Sweeney, Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks; President, Disney-ABC Television Group Reviews ...brilliant insights into the mysteries of the change process at the heart of personal and organizational success...Any leader seriously interested in developing new strengths in others-and in oneself-needs to read this book. —Daniel Goleman, author, Emotional Intelligence Immunity to Change is a wonderfully original approach to a familiar problem: why many crucial change efforts fail. It shows how the core problems of resistance to change stem from the critical gaps between what is required and a leader's own level of development. I know of no book that does a better job of helping leaders understand the commitment to change and how to put it into practice. —Peter Senge, author, The Fifth Discipline, and coauthor, The Necessary Revolution The authors have cracked the code of how to overcome resistance to change. In a brilliant tour de force, they demonstrate how people can further grow and develop. —Manfred Kets de Vries, the Raoul de Vitry d Avaucourt Chaired Professor of Leadership Development, and Director, Global Leadership Centre, INSEAD
