Coaching in Depth cover

Coaching In Depth introduces the reader to the management consultancy technique of Organizational Role Analysis (ORA); a technique with the immensely practical purpose of helping managers to stay "in role and on task". The ORA method is grounded in a process of consultation that derives from the conjunction of open systems theory and psychodynamic understandings of human behaviour. It enables the collaborative resolution of the mental and emotional tensions represented in the client's work role as he/she strives to manage the dynamics between their organization-in-the-mind and the organization-in-reality.

'This book represents a major advance in our knowledge about coaching and coaching practice. By integrating multiple levels of experience - from the broad systemic forces to the deep inner dynamics - the authors deepen our understanding of coaching and extend our ability to help managers/executives be more effective.'- Dr James Krantz, President-elect, International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations; Principal, Nautilus Consulting Group, New York'An idea whose time has come. This book will become a classic. For years an international professional and academic community has consistently worked in depth with Organizational Role Analysis (ORA), which, with this book, has 'come out' into the mainstream of organizational coaching, managing, consulting. In this it contributes to a wider important recent literature drawing on psychoanalytic, systems and group relations contributions to organizational effectiveness. [...] The book itself exemplifi es the collaborative nature of ORA, moving beyond traditional hierarchies into a joint engagement in a common task, from different roles (author and reader in this case).'- Dr Erika Stern, Leader of psychoanalytically-based Executive Masters Programmes, Utrecht School of Governance, Utrecht University
