How do organizations work? How good a manager are you? Can you recognize your strengths and weaknesses and those of others? What makes a good team and are you part of one? What motivates people at work? How important is competition? Almost all of us are faced with these questions at some point. Whatever we do, whatever our profession, organizing is a part of our lives. Succinct and illuminating, this book brings together twenty-one ideas which show you how to work with and through other people. Each idea is explained and is illustrated with entertaining anecdotes as well as questions at the end of each chapter to get you thinking on your own and in a group. A book to read or dip into, Inside Organizations will help you to take a fresh look at your workplace and will prove invaluable to anyone who works with other people, particularly those with responsibility for others, whether in a work group or a project group, a team or a family.
