Understanding experience at work, especially in toxic
organizations, is a multidimensional undertaking that must include
all senses. The use of applied poetry has its primary value as an
evocative approach to sensing, knowing, and understanding workplace
experience. Poetry at its best condenses into relatively few words,
metaphors, and images what conventional social science narratives
would take much longer to articulate. Where poetry often hints and
alludes, narrative seeks to spell out, expound, and complete. Where
poetry leaves much mental space for the listener or reader to fill
in with one's imagination, narrative fills in the spaces with rich
detail. Applied poetry and its contextual stories offer a way of
accessing workplace experience that is unique and valuable in terms
of understanding lives at work. The use of complementary
psychodynamic theories, like all theories, is a way of trying to
account for what we have found and experienced and in particular
why it happened. "Why," the authors suggest, is critical in terms
of understanding the sensing, images, and metaphors evoked by the
poetry and stories that may resonate with hearers and readers for
reasons that are unconscious and are rooted in the past. These
transferences that come forward from life experience into the
present are the critical data we work with. These are the data of
psychoanalysis. This book both widens and deepens the scope of
organizational research offered by other researchers, theorists,
and approaches to understanding, interpreting, explaining, leading,
and consulting with workplace organizations. Its triangulating
integration of applied poetry, experience and stories behind the
poetry, and the three psychoanalytic models of explaining life in
workplaces, is a new and distinct contribution to organizational
research, leadership, and consulting efforts to help organization
members solve real, underlying problems and not offer simplistic,
formulaic solutions based solely on a study of the organization's
surface. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and
students in the fields of organizational studies, leadership, and
management.
