What if a company did everything in its power to create a culture in which everyone could overcome their own internal barriers to change and use errors and vulnerabilities as prime opportunities for personal and company growth?
Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey have found and studied such companies—Deliberately Developmental Organizations. A DDO is organized around the conviction that organizations will best prosper when they are more deeply aligned with people's strongest motive, which is to grow. 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.
An Everyone Culture 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.

      Stephen R. Thorne captures the optimism in this invitation to make your organization a crucible for human growth instead of a place where learning is stifled and spirits are deadened. His phrasing and pacing have the energy needed to open bureaucratic minds and give hope to leaders who have become complacent or cynical about helping people grow. Using the examples of three companies, the authors explain how learning cultures are created with practices that are woven into the company's daily operations, practices, and communication. The specific tools suggested for leaders at all levels show how growth-oriented values can be expressed during formal and informal meetings, training, and compensation or advancement structures. Delivered with consistent clarity and confidence, this is an important lesson for anyone who cares about how people can thrive in organizational settings. T.W. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
