In this episode, we explore the work of Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey and what they call the Immunity to Change.
What is your tolerance to change? I'm sure each of us would say we would make the necessary changes if our life was on the line, but what about those changes and decisions we make each day? “The problem is the inability to close the gap between what we genuinely, even passionately, want and what we are actually able to do.” Let's explore this gap and how you can use this change model to impact where your Leadership Meets Life.
