Anatomy of Dangerous Behaviour in Organisations
Synopsis
“What makes an organisation strong is not only the competence of individuals, but also the capacity to understand when, how and why those individuals engage in dangerous behaviour.”
Success in modern organisations is shaped not only by strategy and performance, but also by invisible but influential patterns of behaviour. ‘Anatomy of Dangerous Behaviours in Organisations’ examines how individual and collective behaviours can become pathological, how they permeate the corporate culture and how they can become dynamics of destruction in the long run. This book guides managers, human resources professionals and academics by addressing risky behaviours such as organisational gossip, careerism, toxic leadership, mobbing, organisational silence, nepotism, organisational alienation and silent resignation in both theoretical and practical frameworks. It not only identifies problems, but also offers solution-oriented approaches to rebuild organisational health. Blending psychology, sociology and management sciences, this work is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to build more conscious, healthy and sustainable structures in the business world.
“Recognising danger is the first step to managing it.”
