An Everyone Culture

Richard Kegan and Lisa Lahey have been leading the way on how organizations can make their primary focus about learning and adaptation for success.  Their 2016 book An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization includes a bounty of specific tools and approaches to integrating learning into every aspect of an organization’s processes, structures and overall growth.  In particular, they emphasize the importance of every person from top to bottom being explicitly accountable to successive learning goals, and pushing past their own fears and resistance, to normalize learning and the vulnerability required to excel.
