This current volume by a successful consultant to leading
organizations and institutions combines two of his recent papers.
The first one looks at the phenomenon of illusion and disillusion
in organizations. He believes illusions construct us, as opposed to
us believing we create them. This is Gutmann s hypothesis which he
examines in the book with help of examples from a personal and
institutional point of view. He claims we can learn to recognize
our own illusions and learn from them and this is the process he
calls "disillusionment." The Dialogue of Lacks paper is a follow-up
from the first paper and further elaborates on the process that is
disillusionment and discusses the effects of the "lack of
dialogue.""The trudging that each of us is engaged in -- over a
shorter or longer distance -- whilst grappling with our own
illusions is a fundamental journey, intimate and unique, passing
through our own construction and touching on the very essence of
our life. It is not only about knowing whether we are being
manipulated, nor just how far these illusions can obscure our
judgement, our rational and reasonable mind. Our freedom is at
stake. It is about understanding where the boundary lies between
survival (and its frantic analogue all too frequent these days that
we refer to as "hyperlife") and a life of desire and creation.Our
intention here is to formulate a starting hypothesis and to begin
to unfold it in order to discover its consequences. It is based on
our experience as advisers in leadership which invites us to work
regularly with this kind of questions with leaders of
organisations. Illusion is indeed as much an individual issue as it
is a collective and institutional one." -- From the Introduction"
