Full course description
Most teams don't fail to change because they lack talent, strategy, or good intentions — they fail because they're quietly working against the very improvements they say they want. Drawing on the Immunity to Change™ methodology developed at Harvard by Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, this EagleCast moves the conversation beyond the individual to explore how departments, faculties, and cross-functional teams develop a shared "immune system" of hidden competing commitments — deeply held assumptions that quietly protect the status quo even as the team pushes for growth. We'll look at what changes when ITC is applied in a team setting, why the most stuck teams are usually stuck for reasons no one is naming out loud, and how leaders can begin to surface what's actually in the way. This session is also the on-ramp to an upcoming hands-on ITC workshop, where participants will build their own personal Immunity Map and learn how to bring the work back to their own department or team. Whether you lead faculty, staff, students, or a cross-campus initiative, you'll leave with a new lens for collective change — and a concrete next step for putting it to work.
