I have enjoyed the reading of the book, the first one written in English about Constellations for Organization and Business. Since the first chapter it is very easy to read and take the reader into the systemic world introducing the systemic principles explaning how they work in the living system.On the third chapter a very good selection of cases are shown and again with an easy reading is showing basically the diagnostic image and the more relaxed final image of solution, explaining the main steps taken from one to the other and also the dynamics operated in the case.Questions and answers, and systemic coaching for micro system complete the book.I found this book very helpful for coaches and family constellation facilitators who wants to include themselves in the Organizational Constellations area.

Horn and Brick lay bare the hidden rules that govern organizational
pyschololgy and hence behavior. These ³invisible dynamics² defy all of our
theories and best interventions. Horn and Brick provide an accessible
theory for a new way of working with organizations that provides quick
effective insight into the hidden dynamics that keep management and
organizations from reaching their goals. Once these patterns can be
uncovered, real, lasting change can take place in the organization.

This book does an excellent job of providing a clear framework of the art of
organizational constellations for organizational practitioners. Theory is
illustrated with compelling examples that illustrate the basic principles of
this new way of working. Constellations allow the consultant, coach or
manager to understand the ³organism² of the organization and know when and
where to intervene.

Highly recommended!

This is a brilliantly lucid book. It clearly lays out the principles of organisational constellations. Not only does it give a great introduction to organisational constellations, it does so in a language that would be quite acceptable to the business world. The use of the birds's eye view of people's heads in the diagrams makes it very easy to get a visual orientation of positioning in constellations. Anyone who has a significant interest in organisational constellations will want to have this book.

For a long time I was looking for documentation in english about
Organizational Constellations. When I found this book, it was like heaven. I
couldn¹t stop reading it. The book has a great structure, with the
description of some basic concepts, some practical examples, a list of the
main questions and answers that arrived in the practice, as well as other
interesting subjects. The theoretical part of the book is very clear and
gives a good knowledge of systemic work in organizations. These concepts are
very useful for people working in this field, as me, but also it explain in
a very simple and understanding way all the concepts for people that knows
this work for the first time. For this people it is very important to see
the practical examples, so they can see the effects of this powerful
methodology. When you arrive to the part of questions and answers, you get
answer for any question that may arise you when reading the previous
chapters. It is a useful book for beginners and experts. In order to promote
my work, I have already offered some copies of this book to important
managers that didn¹t know anything about systemic work. They like it very
much and became curious to know more and how to apply these concepts in
their companies. Thank you, Regine and Klaus, by making this book available.
