Product Description

Review
"In "Reworking Authority," Larry Hirschhorn incisively describes the changing dynamics and difficulties of contemporary organizations. His approach to consulting with troubled groups, addressing the needs and fears of personnel at all levels in the hierarchy, is sensitive and sophisticated. This book will fascinate and inform anyone with an interest in the way organizations, or the people who work in them, function in our post-modern age." --Jay Greenberg, Editor, "Contemporary Psychoanalysis"

Product Description
Assesses the new culture of authority - increasingly prevalent in the working environment - which expects people to bring more of themselves psychologically to the job. The text explores how organizations can create a culture of openness in which people become more psychologically present.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful and important work., 21 Mar 1999
By A Customer
If people are going to bring more of themselves psychologically to work, a new culture of authority characterized by openness must be created. Hirschhorn explores how organizations transition from traditional power hierarchy to this new culture, involving a social policy of forgiveness and second chances. A thoughtful and important work. Reviewed by Gerry Stern, founder, hrconsultant.com and Stern & Associates.
