There may be no greater waste of a company's resources. The ultimate cost: neither the organization nor its people are able to realize their full potential. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat if a company did everything in its power to create a culture in which \u003ci\u003eeveryone\u003c\/i\u003e--not just select \"high potentials\"--could overcome their own internal barriers to change and use errors and vulnerabilities as prime opportunities for personal and company growth? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRobert Kegan and Lisa Lahey (and their collaborators) have found and studied such companies--Deliberately Developmental Organizations. A DDO is organized around the simple but radical conviction that organizations will best prosper when they are more deeply aligned with people's strongest motive, which is to \u003ci\u003egrow\u003c\/i\u003e. This means going beyond consigning \"people development\" to high-potential programs, executive coaching, or once-a-year off-sites. It means fashioning an organizational culture in which support of people's development is woven into the daily fabric of working life and the company's regular operations, daily routines, and conversations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn Everyone Culture\u003c\/i\u003e dives deep into the worlds of three leading companies that embody this breakthrough approach. It reveals the design principles, concrete practices, and underlying science at the heart of DDOs--from their disciplined approach to giving feedback, to how they use meetings, to the distinctive way that managers and leaders define their roles. The authors then show readers how to build this developmental culture in their own organizations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book demonstrates a whole new way of being at work.
