About
the Book:
Leading Cape Town psychologist Dr Richard Oxtoby has
written this book out of his passionate belief that the needs of the
individual and those of the organisations to which they belong do not
necessarily have to be in conflict. With the right human relations culture
in place, the individual and the organisation can work together in harmonious
synergy to satisfy both their needs. This book seeks to explain in simple,
non-technical language some of the psychological principles governing
human behaviour and experience. These principles provide a framework
of understanding which will assist the reader to make sense of his or
her own behaviour and the sometimes apparently inexplicable behaviour
of others. The author’s aim is to help the reader to a deeper
awareness of their own motivations, and to provide practical guidelines
for releasing their often pent-up positive emotional energies into living
a happier and more fulfilled life, thereby helping any organisation
of which they are part to achieve its objectives more effectively.
This book represents an important part of the broad philosophical and
psychological approach which informs all the work of Fofang. In addition
to providing background reading for our interventions, it also forms
the basis for a number of modular workshops dedicated to the aim of
Releasing the Energy of the Organisation, tailor-made to the needs of
large corporates, small businesses, or cultural, religious or charitable
organisations.
