Review

"Leading Systems gets to the dynamics of leadership and power relations more effectively than the usual jargon and rhetoric. People who read this book will see that they can avoid the pitfalls of system life and create healthy societies." -- Betty Friedan, Author and Lecturer"Leading Systems is the best book on systems living and action I have ever read. The writing is powerful and compelling. It offers a way for us to experience our power, our freedom, our anxiety, and still stay deeply engaged in serving the systems of which we are a part. I highly recommend this book." -- Peter Block, author of Stewardship and The Empowered Manager"One of the truly great management educators of the era. . . . Every manager, executive, and leader benefits from the insights which jump out of his provocative writings. His ideas will still be sparkling decades from now." -- Kenwyn K. Smith, Professor, University of Pennsylvania

No book is life changing but this definitely opens your eyes to the way organizations and society in general works. I am not sure all the techniques used in Oshray's research are totally ethical but the results are solid and reproducible. Fascinating and hard hitting at once.

Barry Oshry is a sociologist and brings a systems perspective to organizations. This is a great supportive volume for those already familiar with his models. I think he is one of the most helpful systems thinkers there is. Lots of case studies and illustrations of his main ideas.

This is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. Barry Oshry puts power in the middle of the analysis of relationships. He’s very brave to tackle this subject. I couldn’t put the book down, and kept thinking of his concepts for a long time.

The book was in good conditions and it arrived sooner than I had expected. A good experience all throughout

Excellent. No problems. Delivery on time in great shape. If you want my feedback you can't ask me to say so much. Otherwise I'll only review bad product. If it's good, there's isn't much to say. All was well.

Not sure about the author's agenda in writing the book - I just left like I was reading the TV version of a Survivor episode.There are many other books better able to offer Leadership theory.

I was introduced to Barry Oshry's work when I bought Seeing Systems. I can't recommend Seeing Systems too highly.Reading Leading Systems second was appropriate as it detailed what participants experience in one of Oshry's workshops (a simulation not described in detail in Seeing Systems). Often the book reads like a novel as Oshry describes the behaviors of key players or the behaviors of one of the groups as they struggle with issues in the community setting of the workshop.Oshry shares how he was thinking when he had a chance to be a participant in his own workshop and in settings in which he was personally involved. He believes a leader can do much to influence outcomes and he creatively struggles to find ways to perturb the situation toward a better life for all in the setting. This is best done with a knowledge of systems.Near the end of the book, Oshry shares an experience of being shafted by an organization and his response to it. Most of us, being members of organizations, can relate. I read an excerpt of this incident to a group of downtrodden teachers and I heard a number of them catch their breath at the power of his thoughts and words.His creative, yet peaceful and constructive response was an example of how we can be with each other and, for me, was worth the price of the book. If we can "see" systems, we can understand behaviors of others and ourselves and be influential in the co-creation of something better for all.--Jack Bender, author of Disregarded: Transforming the School and Workplace through Deep Respect and Courage

A study of systemic relationships within a power system using a description of the emotional and other consequences of being in different power positions within an organisation, based on experience from a set of structured simulations or extended workshops.The Power Lab is essentially a total immersion simulation 'played' over ten days. It is based on a construct in which there are 'elites', 'middles' and 'immigrants', each with a defined role and each, in a sense, dependent on the others. They are thrown into a situation which is systemically designed to throw the interdependencies and tensions into sharp relief. This is, of course, a reasonable reflection of the situation ordinarily found inside a typical organisation, although apparently built in a somewhat stark and exaggerated form. The book does not make it clear whether the failure of participants to challenge and overthrow the entire framework is a product of the rules, the expectations of the participants or the dynamics of the system.If you accept the basic framework, the messages that come out of the experience are useful, but hardly surprising.
