Summary

How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work - Seven Languages for Transformation by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey offers a profound exploration of the transformative power of language within organizational and personal development. Rooted in adult developmental psychology and constructive-developmental theory, the book presents a compelling case that the language people use shapes not only their interactions but also their capacity for growth and change. The authors identify seven distinct “languages” or conversational moves that can foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation.
