Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book introduces the reader to the management consultancy technique of Organizational Role Analysis--a technique with the immensely practical purpose of helping managers to stay "in role and on task." As such, it provides a coherent, superbly illustrated framework for in-depth coaching. The ORA method is grounded in a process of consultation that derives from the conjunction of open systems theory, and psychodynamic understandings of human behavior. It enables the collaborative resolution of the mental and emotional tensions represented in the client's work role as he/she strives to manage the dynamics between the organization-in-the-mind and the organization-in-reality.

While the method of Organizational Role Analysis presented in this book has been evolving for three decades, published accounts of the work have been sparse, spasmodic, and relatively obscure. This book brings together the work of experienced practitioners from around the globe who illuminate the guiding concepts with lively, practical examples that illustrate the variety of ways in which managers can receive coaching in-depth. These accounts are complemented by an extensive bibliography for further reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaking New Ground, June 28, 2006
Finally, something about coaching that takes me under the surface cliches to a deep understanding of both practice and theory. While the book focuses on coaching, my understanding of a wide variety of other issues was enriched at the same time, including: systems thinking, the emotional underpinnings of roles and organizations, and the challenges facing organizations today.

This is definitely the best thing out on coaching. I especially liked the fact that each chapter recounted actual cases that illustrated the ideas beautifully. And while each author takes a somewhat different tack, there is an overall frame of reference that ties them together.

I recommend this book heartily for anyone interested either in coaching or in contemporary organizations.
