Abstract
In this case study, nine employees from a consulting firm participated in a 6-month personal development program based on the Immunity-to-Change approach (Kegan & Lahey, 2009). Participants set personal growth goals, identified hidden assumptions holding them back, and conducted experiments. The case study examined the individual and organizational effects of this program. Methods included observation, interviews, as well as quantitative measurements. Results showed improvements in personal growth goals for participants and positive changes in teamwork and trust on the collective level. The work setting functioned as a "container" for personal growth, but the "container" also developed. The study suggests that personal growth in a collaborative setting can enhance cooperation and trust, benefiting both individuals and organizations.
