Ep 87: Organisations as Political Systems & The Sources of Power in Your Organisation

Organisations as Political Systems & The Sources of Power in Your OrganisationRe-introducing Gareth Morgan who gave us his marvellous book ‘Images of Organization’.Over several decades of working with clients who are making significant changes in their businesses, I’ve noticed that organisational interventions that are not specifically tailored to the organisation in question do not work.  At best there’s some improvement but not as much as hoped.  At worst damage is done and more money must be invested to make corrections.Gareth Morgan shows us several distinct windows into our organisations.  Each one is of value in itself.  The collection together offers the potential for deep understanding and in turn radically intelligent and well-informed decision making and interventions.In this episode I talk about ‘organisations as political systems’ and the sources of power in your organisation.  Fascinating.I recommend Gareth Morgan’s ‘Images of Organization’ available on Amazon:https://amzn.to/3lvsntbTo chat with me about your organisation, how it is now, how you want it to be and how you plan to make the transition click this link to schedule a time:https://go.oncehub.com/OrganisationalTransitionSupport the show=========================More episodes https://truthandtranscendence.comMore about Catherine / Being Space / Expansive Coaching https://beingspace.world✦ Explore Expansive Coaching If something in your life is beginning to open — or there is a sense of moving toward deeper alignment — you’re warmly invited into this work.This is a space for reflection, unfolding, and spacious conversation.A simple way to begin:🔹 Taste session (20–30 mins) — experience the work directly https://go.oncehub.com/TasteOfExpansiveCoaching🔹 Q&A call (15 mins) — ask questions and sense whether it feels aligned for you https://go.oncehub.com/ExpansiveCoachingQA🤝 Join our Being Space Community✦ Podcast: / https://truthandtranscendence.com✦ Website: / https://beingspace.world✦ YouTube: / https://www.youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn✦ Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/beingspace.world/✦ Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld✦ TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@beingspace.world Support the podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate
