Mapping the Organizational Psyche: A Jungian Theory of Organizational Dynamics and Change

by John G. Corlett, Carol S. Pearson

Overview

Based on the profound work of C.G. Jung, the authors present both theoretical and practical approaches for stakeholders to explore the organizational unconscious. Practical solutions are presented through the concepts of archetypes. What story is your company living? Is it the path that needs to be taken?

When underlying dynamics within organizations are more clearly understood, change is more effectively managed. This book includes a workbook section that allows readers to assess their own organizations.
