Coming Face to Face with your own practice is an emerging approach
to management and professional research that has a significant
impact on management practice. It closes the gap between theory and
practice. An existential form of research means that the researcher
carefully attends to their experience of researching and managing.
This book demonstrates that by bringing an existential sensibility
to research, unexpected possibilities for research and for
professionality, are revealed. Each chapter shows authors grappling
with the constraints of a system, navigating issues of humanness,
questioning themselves, unfolding their understanding of
appropriate ethics and finally, elucidating a depth of response
that in itself reveals a way forward. In Face to Face with
Practice, authors demonstrate how they drew on moments of
estrangement from their practices. They found that when such
moments are respected and carefully examined, a kind of
clarification and at the same time often deep disillusionment with
the taken-for-granted conventions of their practice, emerge.
Through exploring these conventional ways of operating, authors
develop new and original accounts of what it means to manage better
in their particular field of practice. Such an approach is called
hermeneutic existential phenomenology, affectionately known as HEP.
Face to Face is about making a difference: a difference to the ways
that management is practiced; a difference to the experience of the
manager; and actually a difference towards a more humane and
thoughtful approach to managing our society today.
