Recenzje

"Shadow Working in Project Management by Joana Bértholo is one of the most comprehensive works on Shadow outside that of Jung's work that I have seen. She brings you a 360° perspective of how Shadow emerges in project management. Through her research, she illustrates how individuals' Shadows are difficult enough to work with, however collective shadows that emerge within teams are even more complex. Joana reminds you of what isn't evident, the multiple facets of Shadow and ways to navigate through their complexity. It was an honour and privilege to be interviewed for the book and I will definitely recommend to my students, project managers, OD specialists and anyone who wants to take a deep dive with individuals and their teams."  - Donna Karlin, author of Leaders: Their Stories, Their Words - Conversations with Human-Based Leaders™; Founder and Principal of the No Ceiling, Just Sky™ Institute.
