Title: Overcoming Organizational Defenses
Author(s): Chris Argyris Publisher: Allyn and Bacon, 1990 Personal psychological barriers to change are examined in this book, which shows why individuals have a natural tendency to adopt counter-productive behaviors (hiding, lack of motivation, etc.) when confronted with situations perceived to be threatening (e.g. mistakes, changes to the status quo). The author then proposes an approach to help people overcome such defensive attitudes and start behaving more productively. Main subject [Learning Organization] |
