Description
"The Solutions Focus" is a powerful, pragmatic yet subtle approach to change - in people, teams and organizations. The basic principle is simple - find what works and do more of it. Stop doing what doesn't work and do something else. The book derives from the work of pioneering US therapist Milton Erickson, the NLP school and the new science of complexity. There is very little theory, in fact solution-focus can be summed up as "the theory of no theory". Instead it's a way of working that allows solutions and techniques to be invented each time, according to what is actually happening in the organization. A solution-focused approach sidesteps the problem and heads straight for the solution showing you how to visualize your preferred future and move directly to its realisation. Based on the "simple" model the authors present a set of practical techniques, that show you how to identify what is working in your organization and amplify it to make useful changes; to focus on what is possible rather than what is intractable and how to be solution-focused, not solution forced.
