Organizational Transactional Analysis is a discipline whose focus
is on enabling effective communication at all levels of the
organization. It looks at development and change from the
individual, team, department and organizational levels. This book,
and Organizational TA as a whole, operates from an assumption of
health - this is a very different approach from other communication
methodologies which tend to focus on the problems. TA focuses on
building on what is already working, rather than what isn't. From
their many years of experience, Anita Mountain and Chris Davidson
are convinced that TA offers everyone within the workforce
different options on how to relate. Working Together offers
up-to-date theory developed by the authors through their extensive
knowledge of TA and of the business world. The clear explanations
and diagrams in the book outline how you can develop and maintain
effective communication and be aware of the processes involved in
carrying out decisions and strategies. With chapters on how to
apply TA in the workplace Working Together is a down-to-earth yet
intelligent read and an important resource for those who wish to
improve the quality of relationships and improve productivity. It
will be of value to individuals, leaders and managers at all
levels. Whether the issue is emotional intelligence, stress, poor
communication or different departmental/regional perspectives, this
book offers a toolkit of resources to support the people processes
aspects of the business.
What happens when the boundaries between dreams and reality blur
and disappear? When the recurrent dreams that music student Emma
suffers from begin to encroach on her waking hours, she turns to
her friends to try to discover the identity of the unknown young

they inadvertently open a link to an alternate world, Elsynvaal,

world to perform at the King's Coronation. But on arrival at the
Court of Elasyn, the young musicians soon begin to feel misgivings.
After meeting Master Will, a poet whom Horatio had previously

discover that one of them has been brought to Elsynvaal for a
