Immunity to Change

Robert Kegan Β· 2009
74/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Thirty years of Harvard adult-development research compressed into a practical Immunity Map tool for understanding why smart, motivated people still can't change the things they most want to change β€” for coaches, organizational development practitioners, and serious leaders, the framework is genuinely actionable. The academic prose is dense enough that casual readers will struggle, and some researchers question whether the framework applies as universally as claimed. Worth it for the right professional audience.
