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.

I didn't realise this book was a workbook; this should be more clearly articulated. It would probably be great for an organisational change program manager learning their organisation through Kegan's Constructive Development Theory's “Immunity to change” diagnostic model, but no good for anyone else.
There is so much obvious stuff missing in CDT that I was hoping that Kegan might have built on CDT after all of these years, but other than this simple but tool there were no new insights.
My rating reflects the value I got out of there book; as per my first paragraph, others may get more.
