Archetypes at Work

Archetypes at Work(tm) is a new cutting-edge method to assess and develop people and organizations to become fit for the future. Archetypes are underlying patterns of human nature and experience. As such they are - often invisibly - "running the show". They are embedded in our inner motivations and mindset and deeply rooted in our values. The better we understand these patterns and the more consciously we use them, the more effective we will be. Archetypes at Work(tm) offers an exciting framework to understand how people act and "what is really going on" - in our life, in our work, and in our deeper self.Combining ancient wisdom with creative approaches to personal and professional development, Laurence Hillman and Richard Olivier have crafted a system that is practical and accessible in approach.This book offers the opportunity for readers to assess their current archetypal patterns - both their Gifts and their Shadows - and then determine a more "future-fit" pattern. Readers can then create an Archetypal Development Plan, "evolving your story, one character at a time".
