Description: Understanding experience at work especially in organizations that have toxic leaders and dysfunctional organizational dynamics is a multidimensional undertaking that must include in - depth perspectives informed by psychosocial theory. This may be best accomplished by relying on complementary theories to account for what is found and experienced in our organizations and in particular a better understanding of why this is happening. " Why did she do that?" " Why did he say that?" " Why did a group react the way they did?" Why is critical in terms of understanding organizational dynamics. Our lives at work in large complex and multidimensional organizations are saturated with experience some of which is fulfilling and some are of a darker nature that arises from the presence of toxic leaders and dysfunctional organizational dynamics. Understanding these toxicities and dysfunctions and their effect on organization members is approached by first raising their awareness at the beginning of the book before providing psychosocially informed insights that form a basis for understanding and organizational change in the following sections. This book explores these work - life dynamics by grounding them in concrete examples and then using complementary psychoanalytically informed perspectives to illuminate their underlying often unconscious nature filling an important gap in management and organizational literature.
