Workplace Intelligence: Unconscious Forces and How to Manage Them

by Anton Obholzer

Workplace Intelligence provides a range of insights into the unconscious processes at play in the workplace and an introduction to a balanced approach to organizations.

The book explores key concepts, showing how our emotions and early experiences inform the roles we play at work, as well as how we react to other people. It encourages close observation and reflection and utilization of this knowledge for managing ourselves and others fruitfully. It also provides managers with the methods to intervene and tackle these issues, elaborating on topics from leadership and group dynamics to meetings and work-life balance.

The book will be a fascinating read for those in leadership roles, organizational consultants, executive coaches, students of occupational psychology, as well as anyone interested in understanding workplace dynamics in general.

If Roland Barthes did management theory, then Workplace Intelligence would be the result. OK - there are some 'yep - obviously' moments. There are some - are you working with a pack of wolves, girlfriend, moments. But this is a calming, nurturing, kind book. For a toxic workplace, this is hot chocolate for the soul.

It is an eye-opening book that sheds light on the unsaid (the unconscious) in the workplace and how many behaviors are in fact led by the unconscious of the individuals or even the unconscious of the organization. It takes you through a journey of new perspectives when interpreting certain decisions and behaviors that sometimes look normal but may hide a lot below the surface. It talks about leadership, group dynamics, meetings, governance, stress, work-life balance, coaching, work anxiety, and a lot more on everyday work activities but from a new lens that takes into consideration the psychological undercurrents that are usually not paid attention to.

superficial mas bom

O livro trata de diversos temas, de forma breve e superficial. Livro de fácil leitura. Bom custo beneficio em termos do tempo despendido.
