| This is a book
for people working in and with organisations, who imagine that
organisational effectiveness is connected to communication and
relationship, and who want to understand more about how patterns
of communication and relationship work. The importance of staff
morale in achieving success is well documented. However, initiatives
to create greater efficiency, although meant to help, often
do not pay enough attention to the connection between motivation
and meaning. People need to experience their work as meaningful,
as making sense within a larger context of organisational culture,
relationship, role and communication. When our abilities to
make sense get stuck or are confused we find ourselves in looped
patterns that are difficult to escape. |
| This
reflexive practice guide helps us to become more critically
conscious of organisational relational patterns we can find
ourselves in, providing the tools to make sense of them and
to decide how to relate to them. It draws on the traditions
of systemic practice and organisational learning. In particular,
it develops the notion of the strange loop pattern. Reflexive
practice helps us to ride the strange loops that we create in
organisational communication and to develop and sustain resilience,
preparing us for other relationship roller coasters that may
come our way. |
