About the Book

When organizational leaders reflect on who has most influenced their careers, they often name a humanistic consultant. A humanistic approach to working with people and organizations spans leadership development, executive coaching, organization development and efforts to transform and revitalize systems. The tools are borrowed from diverse sources: its effectiveness relies on a compassionate practitioner.

Tracing the historical roots of the practice, this book explores the elements that shape humanistic consulting and give it powerful versatility. Insights are offered for consultants, managers and students alike.
