Overview

\"How can boards and members of boards reach their full potential? The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations (TIHR) has been at the forefront of thinking about organisations since its inception in 1947. Today, as then, the corporate world is undergoing increasing pressure to demonstrate a sustainable, generative and meaningful impact on society and employees whilst delivering improved services and products. These tensions and others are explored in this important new book, Dynamics at Boardroom Level: A Tavistock Primer for Leaders, Coaches and Consultants. In this book, the reader gets a useful framework of theory and practice that broadens vision and deepens thinking about what is happening in boardrooms. The book opens the door to the reader to a new world of board dynamics, edited by those who really understand the deeper workings of the complex human system and its work at board level. This edited volume brings together insights and contemporary case studies from participants on the Tavistock Institute Dynamics at Board Level programme that draws on the thinking of Tavistock scholars and practitioners and their work on the dynamics of task, role, authority and power. Edited by Programme Co-Directors Dr Mannie Sher and Dr Leslie Brissett and their fellow Tavistock Associate, Tazi Smith, and with contributions from senior leadership practitioners and board evaluators from Government, International consultancy firms, FTSE 100 and Global UN institutions, this book speaks directly to issues of our time. It represents essential reading for leaders of organisations and businesses, as well as leadership coaches and mental health professionals\"-- Provided by publisher.
