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.
Reviews and Endorsements
'Anton Obholzer is a great presence in the world of human relations. His work has inspired me as it has a generation of leaders (and leaders in the making). This book is a tour de force and a must for those wanting to understand the conscious and unconscious forces at play in the workplace - and more importantly, what to do about them.' - Clare Gerada, DBE, FRCP, FRCGP, FRCPsych, past chair of General Practitioners
'Anton Obholzer's new book illustrates not only the numerous psychic phenomena operating under the surface of organizations, but also subtly shows ways to make sense of the consulting and intervention processes in which his psychoanalytic and anthropological expertise, along with his well-known humor, provides aid.' - Gilles Amado, Dr. Psych. Emeritus Professor of Organisational Psychosociology, HEC Paris
