Unblocking your organization - Mike Woodcock

Most work is accomplished through organizations, whether industrial, commercial, public sector or not-for-profit. And within organizations it is people who hold the key to success, because only people can provide the creative element that drives an enterprise along. In this book, Mike Woodcock and Dave Francis set out to help you identify and channel the latent strengths in people to the benefit of both the individual concerned and the organizations for which they work. They describe fourteen ?blockages? that can prevent an organization from reaching its full potential and explain how to overcome each of them. The techniques in question have been used successfully not only in business but also in social work, police forces, local government - even a convent. Moreover, they have been applied in a score of different countries in all the continents of the world. This is the third edition of a book originally published in the USA. With its companion volume 50 Activities for Unblocking your Organization it provides a powerful set of tools for managers and professional ?change makers? determined to improve the effectiveness of their organization.
