Immunity to Change

Immunity to Change by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey — used hardcover with dust jacket, Harvard Business Review Press, Leadership for the Common Good series.

Subtitle: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization. The argument is that most failed change isn't weak willpower. It's a hidden competing commitment quietly working against the goal you stated out loud — an immune system protecting you from the very thing you say you want. The book gives you a method for surfacing it and a way to test it.

Daniel Goleman, who wrote Emotional Intelligence, on the jacket: "brilliant insights into the mysteries of the change process at the heart of personal and organizational success." Further praise from Peter Senge and Joel Klein.

Condition: very good, pre-owned. Clean text block, tight binding, no writing or highlighting. Light shelf wear to the jacket. Photographed front and back so you can judge it yourself.
