E36: Making Lasting Impactful Change as a Leader with Lisa Lahey
Why is making long-lasting, meaningful change so difficult even if you have both the desire and motivation to do so? Did you know that you have a natural immunity to change?
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Lisa Lahey to find out more about why making desired changes is so difficult. Dr. Lahey explains what she calls “Immunity to Change™” and we talk about how we can bypass this built-in immunity and become more successful in making the lasting changes we desire.
Dr. Lahey is the co-founder of Minds at Work and co-author of the book Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization (Leadership for the Common Good). Dr. Lahey is a renowned scholar in the field of human development and faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
In this episode:
- Who is the authentic “you” and how to stay true to that part of yourself
- The concept of Immunity to Change™
- The power of being vulnerable
- Self-protective goals that are not necessarily serving us
- How to uncover and challenge your own faulty assumptions
- Real-life examples of immunity to change
- And more!
