The Incestuous Workplace

Description

In this thoroughly revised, expanded, and updated edition of William L. White's classic Incest in the Organizational Family, the author takes a close, hard look inside today's workplace. He offers a brilliant and powerful indictment of the debilitating consequences of business-as-usual, revealing the incestuous dynamic in which organizational members, isolated from the outside world, increasingly meet their personal, professional, social, and even sexual needs inside the boundary of the organizational "family." White then offers bold and innovative strategies designed to restore the health and vitality of organizations and employees. The Incestuous Workplace works both as an operations guide for sustaining organizational health within environments that are increasingly turbulent and threatening and as a personal survival manual for those who find themselves in destructive work environments.
