Many of the
qualities now asked
for in the post
modern workplace are
qualities close to
the human heart;
qualities which
cannot be legislated
or coerced.
Creativity,
adaptability, vision
and passion all
appear when an
individual places
their work in the
greater perspective
of their own
destiny.
If we are serious
about asking for
these qualities, we
need to make our
conversations in the
workplace larger and
more compelling.
Using the insights
of great poetry and
poets, David Whyte
brings a unique
perspective to
courage, creativity,
conversation and
change in the
evolving workplace.
David Whyte grew up
among the hills and
valleys of
Yorkshire, England.
The author of four
books of poetry, he
is one of the few
poets to take his
perspectives on
creativity into the
field of
organizational
development, where
he works with many
American and
International
companies.
In organizational
settings, using
poetry and
thoughtful
commentary, he
illustrates how we
can foster qualities
of courage and
engagement;
qualities needed if
we are to respond to
today’s call for
increased creativity
and adaptability in
the workplace. He
brings a unique and
important
contribution to our
understanding of the
nature of individual
and organizational
change. |
