Synopsis: Change dominates our work lives, our home lives, our politics, economics, and culture. Global thought leaders and practitioners alike constantly talk of change, but it's no surprise that less attention is paid to the feelings, anxieties, and motivations that spur passionate commitment NOT to change. This immunity to change is at the heart of individual and collective change prevention. Leaders and organizations that can master this force will dominate in the new century. They will set the standard in terms of accomplishing their own goals. They will be most admired by their competitors. They will have the greatest loyalty and commitment of their internal constituents. This chapter examines how your organization can become a home for the continuing transformation of talent and help more people unlock their full potential. This chapter is excerpted from "Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential In Yourself and Your Organization."
