Description
The Unconscious at Work: A Tavistock Approach to Making Sense of Organizational Life by Anton Obholzer and Vega Zagier Roberts This book explores the role of the unconscious in organizational life, drawing on a 70-year-old framework known as the 'Tavistock approach' or 'systems-psychodynamics'. Practising consultants share their expertise to help managers, leaders, and consultants understand the 'irrational' side of organizational life and develop new possibilities for action. The Second Edition includes an entirely new section with case studies from a wide range of business organizations, from large corporations to start-ups and family businesses. The aim is to enlarge readers' existing sense-making 'tool-kits' and provide fresh perspectives on the challenges they face. Suitable for anyone working in organizations who has been puzzled, disturbed or challenged by their experiences at work, this book offers a unique approach to understanding and addressing the complex issues that arise in the workplace.
