Recenzje

’Dr Garden brings her extensive consulting experience and in-depth knowledge of the field to identify key roles in organisational development. Her book is a brilliant guide to making change happen and uses self-assessments, exercises and a wide range of practical references. It is truly inspirational and an essential read for all leaders.’ Ralph Lewis, Programme Director, London Business School, UK ’Annamaria Garden, a gifted OD consultant, dissects for us seven roles that are involved in this endeavor. With examples from her practice as well as her research, Dr Garden walks us through the different roles and the contexts to which they best apply. Her emphasis in each is on the psychological reality behind the organizational issues she confronts. She brings to her analysis a keen moral compass and invites us to follow her, whether we are consultants, managers, or just human beings. An intriguing book full of keen psychological insights.’ Lotte Bailyn, Sloan School of Management, USA ’Each chapter is joyous to read. It’s like unveiling a mirror and understanding what an OD practitioner looks like for the first time. It’s also clearly written, practical as well as theoretical and... well just makes sense.’ Carrie Foster, Organisation Development blog, August 2015
