An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization

by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey

star3.9

Kegan and Lahey introduce the concept of Deliberately Developmental Organisations (DDOs), where personal growth is woven into daily work rather than confined to training programs. Through deep case studies of three companies including Bridgewater Associates and Decurion Corporation, the book shows how organisations can be redesigned so that people's deepest desire to grow is aligned with the organisation's need to thrive.
