We are all embarked on a journey of development – a process of discovering who we are and, by implication, who we could be. Today, the organisation (as the place where most of us spend most of our waking hours until we retire) is the primary container for our growth in adulthood. This book provides a map of the human adventure, the subject of sages and storytellers of the past and researchers and theorists of the present. It also describes how those who have responsibility for ‘taking care’ of their organisation can create a culturing context which enables people to achieve their fullest potential, learning together, working in relationship with each other, and finding creative solutions to problems with each other.

Written by Kate Cowie, a member of the NTL Institute for Applied Behavioural Science with 25 years of corporate and consulting experience in human resource management, Finding Merlin provides practical suggestions for leading Self and others to a new position of awareness and possibility as members of an interrelated and interdependent world. From this position, the author proposes, people and their organisations are able to participate in the renewal of our failing political, economic, social, climatic and environmental global systems. Events of the last decade or so have lent a new imperative to this important work which all of us, therefore, are tasked to do.

Le Score:

Vous aurez remarqué que la fiche de chaque livre contient un nombre baptisé SCORE.

De quoi s'agit-il?

Il s'agit d'une évaluation communautaire de chaque livre calculée sur une échelle de 0 à 100.

Cette évaluation repose sur une agrégation de diverses quantités qui reflètent la vie de chaque livre au sein de la communauté ScholarVox. Cette vie s'exprime en fréquence de lecture, nombre d'étagères publiques, privées, professorales dans lesquelles le livre est présent.

Un calcul "propriétaire" mélangeant ces quantités vous restitue sous la forme synthétique d'un Score l'intelligence collective incorporée dans chaque livre. Ce Score n'est pas une note scolaire, c'est bien plus un indicateur de l'aura collective du livre.

Car, pour paraphraser Robert Parker, expert ès-notation des vins, " ...there can never be any substitute for your own reading palate nor any better education than reading the book yourself."
