Description
Helping: A Guide to Offering, Giving and Receiving Help Ed Schein explores the complexities of helping relationships in this insightful analysis. He explains why help is often not helpful and shows how to provide assistance that is both welcomed and genuinely useful. Schein identifies three key roles a helper can play, explaining which one is best for establishing trust and effective help. He also describes an inquiry process that puts both the helper and recipient on an equal footing, making it easier to determine what kind of help is needed. This book offers practical advice on navigating helping relationships in personal and professional settings, including teamwork and organizational leadership. With examples from various types of relationships, Schein provides a concise guide to establishing successful, mutually satisfying helping relationships.
