Practical Advice for Making “Real Change” and “Change Real”
Studies show that only 15% of patients change their life style when they are told by their doctor that if they don’t they will die. It seems that, even in life or death situations, the desire to change is not enough to effect real change. So what is it that holds us back from making changes a reality?
In their book Immunity to Change, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey explain how our individual habits and mindsets—together with the collective norms and beliefs in our organizations—combine to create what they call an “immunity to change”. The authors show us what we can do to overcome these forces. Their conclusion is that what is required is a radical recasting of what most of us believe about making change a reality.
People disappointed with their current change efforts and who want guidance in knowing what to do to “turn things around” will find Immunity to Change a practical “how to” advice book that provides a road map of what you need to do to make deep change a reality—both personally and organizationally.

Re: Spellcheck?
- [quote="TheAnonymousMan":2f894q6j]When discussing the majority of people I would definitely say that most people hit the "Change" or "Ignore" button without thinking too much about the correct spelling of a word. All bosses are concerned about is getting the report to the Directors meeting on time.[/quote:2f894q6j]
That probably depends on what the "majority" are trying to accomplish. I have word set to alert me about misspellings and grammatical problems, so I fix most as I go. But I also add names etc to the dictionary because I get tired of seeing the red and green squiggles when I know the info is right.
If you're only going to click "Change" or "Ignore" then why bother to take the time to use spell check????? Business people that I work for want the info compiled in a timely manner and they want it right - which is fine because that's the way I strive to do any project. Sending out a memo, letter, report etc with obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes makes the person and the company look bad as far as I'm concerned.
