Product Description
From Library Journal
A principal at the Center for Applied Research in Philadelphia, Hirschhorn examines here the psychological dynamic of the work environment. Drawing on his years of experience as a consultant, he delves into the miasma of interpersonal relationships, bringing to light unpleasant feelings like envy, resentment, and ingratitude. Real-world examples illustrate his points. The writing is clear, although the paragraphs tend to be quite long and the poor choice of typeface gives a crammed look. Appearances aside, the message is important: workers and employers must strive to find common ground and have a civil dialog for healing postmodern wounds in the workplace, caused by the steady advance of uncertainty. For public libraries.?Randy L. Abbott, Univ. of Evansville Libs., Ind.

Review
"In Reworking Authority, Larry Hirschhorn incisively describes the changing dynamics and difficulties of contemporary organizations. His approach to consulting with troubled groups, addressing the needs and fears of personnel at all levels in the hierarchy, is sensitive and sophisticated. This book will fascinate and inform anyone with an interest in the way organizations, or the people who work in them, function in our post-modern age."

A thoughtful and important work., Mar 21 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Reworking Authority: Leading and Following in the Post-Modern Organization (Paperback)
If people are going to bring more of themselves psychologically to work, a new culture of authority characterized by openness must be created. Hirschhorn explores how organizations transition from traditional power hierarchy to this new culture, involving a social policy of forgiveness and second chances. A thoughtful and important work. Reviewed by Gerry Stern, founder, hrconsultant.com and Stern & Associates.
