Chapter from: "Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock Potential in Yourself and Your Organization"
Published by: Harvard Business Publishing
Published in: 2009

Abstract

It is not change itself that causes anxiety. It is the feeling that we are in over our heads, that our capabilities are insufficient to meet the challenge of change that engenders what the authors call an 'immunity to change'. In order to combat this immunity to change in yourself and your organization, you need to transform your mindset and learn how to detect the roadblocks that are preventing you from making the change you want to make. This chapter demonstrates how shifting your perspective can help you bridge the gap between the requirements of a challenge and your own capabilities. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock Potential in Yourself and Your Organization'.
