Not one to read if its performance tips you are after. But useful overview of theories to explain what storytelling is. Its links to the ideas of metaphorical understanding of organisations and looks at how the cultural aspects of the organization is created and maintained. It illustrates the power of stories and that many people are powerful story tellers but without a dragon or knight in sight!
Provides a systematic examination of the insights that psychoanalysis can offer to the study of organizations. Bringing together knowledge and interpretations from an international body of scholarship that has grown up over the past thirty or more years, Gabriel provides an accessible and at the same time exhaustive study of organizational behaviour and its origins in the human psyche,individual and collective.
Providing fresh understandings of the role of creativity, control mechanisms, show more leadership, culture, and emotion in organizations, the book is addressed to multiple readerships: to novice and expert alike; to those with and without systematic knowledge of psychoanalytic theories and concepts; to those with primarily theoretical and to those with primarily practical interests; and finally to organization scholars. The book's structure and content reflect this diversity. Practitioners will find a number of practical cases and illustrative materials in boxes; readers new to psychoanalysis will find a presentation of its core theories in the early chapters of the book and synoptic treatment of the key terms in the thesaurus; students of organization will find in-depth treatments of organizational phenomena such as groups, leadership and culture; doctoral students will find a chapter on research strategies and tactics. show less
