Inhaltsangabe

In Participative Transformation Roger Klev and Morten Levin insist that essential in organizational change is the leader's ability to orchestrate participative learning and developmental processes. Drawing on pragmatic philosophy, the authors' experience of organizational development initiatives and on action research, this book connects practical change-related activity with a broader critical and theoretical perspective. Practical guidance includes advice on starting up an organizational development process and dealing with situations where years of being controlled by others needs challenging, to actively engage employees in shaping their own work conditions. Readers will learn how experiencing both negative and positive results may well be a good basis for continued development. It is through systematic experiments that one can develop the organization, and this entails the possibility of making mistakes. There is even guidance on how to handle an organizational development process when it is in terminal trouble, to ensure there is still learning from it.
