Applying Systems Archetypes

by Daniel H. Kim, Colleen P. Lannon

Chances are that you re not often called upon to execute a 360° tumbleturn while water skiing barefoot at work. But your everyday challenges may seem just as daunting if you are stuck in a "knower's" stance. In this fresh, accessible new book, seasoned organizational development practitioner Brian Hinken draws on the lessons from his own story of self-discovery - including his encounter with the elusive tumbleturn - to offer a rich collection of disciplines, frameworks, tools, and methods for overcoming the "secrets of a knower". With disarming humility, the author provides a practical map for moving from awareness to action, empowering us to be learners more focused on increasing our ability to produce desired results, than on protecting our reputation for knowing. Whether you re exploring your personal learning habits or seeking to develop a learning culture more broadly, this book will ease your journey.
