Seeing Systems

Seeing Systems:  Unlocking the Mysteries of Organizational Life  – by Barry Oshry

Our work is helping leaders at all levels in organizations see the “big picture.”  Many of the people we work with are so caught up in the day-to-day “doing” they never see what’s going on in the larger system.  They continue with behaviors that are disruptive and unproductive, taking things personally instead of understanding that the dynamics are systemic instead of persona.

This book provides a great “big picture” look at the dynamics of human systems.  It’s not only one of the most relevant antidotes to the dysfunctions of our human system that we’ve found – it’s also one of the most understandable  (and most fun).
