Less mysterious: “Immunity to change”, Kegan & Lahey (HBR, 2009)

vincentmarleonJune 1, 2021

> There has to be a word for this invisible ledger that lives in our heads.

It’s called a hidden competing commitment. The book “Immunity to Change” by Kegan is all about it.

I've found Kegan's work to be an extremely useful lens on the world, and I've found his research with Lisa Lahey to be extremely useful both for my personal development and for my company. We currently have a pilot program implementing insights from their books An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization (one of the best books I've read in years, and I read a lot) and Immunity to Change, and I think it's made a significant difference for those who are taking part in the pilot and for the company in general.

"Predictable Irrationality" - This is a pretty good book

"Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" - Similar to Predictable Irrationality, they overlap somewhat but they're different enough

"How to Master the Art of Selling" - Not as useful as the others, but I'm not selling anything right now. It has influenced how I perceive people trying to sell me things, however.

"How to Win Friends and Influence People" - I can definitely see why it's a classic.

I just started reading "Immunity to Change," and should have that done by the time I get back from holiday. I'm not far enough along to give an opinion but from the person who recommended it to me made it sound interesting.
