Description
There are many books on Organisational
Development which come at the subject in similar ways, but to the reflective
practitioner who is curious about their practice there is a common disconnect
between the simplicity of theory and the messiness of practice.
Organisation
Development: A Bold Explorer's Guide
gives voice to the daily messiness that they encounter in way that: 1) gives
them hope that this is a shared reality (in fact it is normal); and 2) out of
all of this progress can be made. The book pays attention to those everyday
decisions that need to be made in the moment that can have wider long lasting
implications, both for good or ill.
The authors challenge the received building blocks of
organisation development. They put the curious, reflexive individual at the
heart of their own development. This book is written for those who are keen to
develop their practice from the ground up and who are looking for
inspiration to take their own experience seriously.
