Taking Positions in the Organization (Systemic Thinking and Practice Series)

This volume provides a positive and productive model for helping people move out of static positions or difficult relationships in the workplace. Informed by systemic thinking and social constructionism, the authors discuss how it is possible to create realities through dialogue and to enable greater opportunities for the employee, manager and consultant alike. Taking Positions in the Organization uses a model of semantic polarities to create simple solutions to complex problems in a format that will inform and enthuse all its readers.

Written by a well-established clinical psychologist, who works as a trainer and clinician for the National Health Service at the Tavistock Clinic in London, and also as a freelance consultant to teams and small organizations, and by an organizational consultant with a background in family therapy and management.
