Add to basketPaperback. A rich collection of stories from around the world which reveal what really goes on within an organisation. Recounting diverse tales of organisational consulting around the globe, stopping at Mumbai, London, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, Nairobi, Paris, and Milan. What Lies Beneath offers a unique insight into the private sphere of peer-to-peer supervision, laid bare within the chapters. With a foreword from Vega Zagier Roberts, MD, leadership coach, consultant and consultancy supervisor; co-editor of The Unconscious at Work. This book looks beyond the public face and below the surface of organisations. Using a deceptively easy-to-read and accessible narrative concerning eight international organisations, it covers many fields: real estate, banking, finance, retail, market research, wildlife reserve, fashion, and IT. Each case presents a particular situation or event ranging from dealing with conflict to working with culture and team dynamics. Opened by an incisive foreword from Vega Zagier Roberts, there comes a clear introduction of the authors' journey so far within the field of organisation development. Each compelling story demonstrates the complexity of working with organisational problems. The supervision conversations captured within clearly show how consultants can get caught up in and derailed by the dynamics of the organisational system. This book is written for those who work in and with organisations for founders and executives, for leaders and managers, and especially for other organisational consultants and those who work with or are considering working with them. Through these accounts, the authors encourage interest and curiosity in a way of working with what lies beneath the surface.
