Emotional Abuse and Neglect in the Workplace: How to Restore Normal Organizational Life


Add your own review!

Overview

Emotional Abuse and Neglect in the Workplace tackles the big questions: How does emotional neglect of employees affect an organization? How can management effectively manage while restoring an organization’s health? When trust is gone, only reliable behavior by senior managers can help - and this takes time. The author explores striking similarities between the symptoms of ailing organizations and abusive or neglectful families. This book explores not only a new theory of neglected organizations, but also a set of methods enabling OD practitioners to restore employees’ trust. It also provides diagnostic tools and guidelines for change agents who confront organizational neglect head-on and includes case studies and real-life experiences of OD practitioners.

A true enrichment of our field.' - Leon de Caluwe PhD, VU University Amsterdam 'I would recommend this book to anyone who works with organizations that are unable to put their house in order.
