"Oceans Beyond: In Search of the Enlightened Organization" by Lloyd Tosoff
?Oceans Beyond: In Search of the Enlightened Organization? (ISBN 1466274697) intends to challenge the conventional thinking of the business world. Author Lloyd Tosoff shows readers what really goes on in offices everywhere through the 20 or so narratives that are an expos? on everyday people and the way they interact to create patterns of organizational dysfunction. Examining ?The Top 10 Reasons Why Organizations Fail,? the book exposes the patterns of dysfunction that undermine organizational health. It creates new language for CEOs, various level employees and business associates to help them understand and deal with the different and sometimes difficult personalities in the workplace.
A former chief executive in an award-winning company, Lloyd?s visionary leadership and knowledge of his subject matter is well recognized. Marina Pratchett Q.C., Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP says, ?Lloyd is committed to the creation of corporate cultures that recognize the importance of people, knowledge management and innovation.? Early acclaim for ?Oceans Beyond? includes Dr. Lynne Zettl, Ph.D., co-founder of Self Regulation Therapy?, who says, ?The first of its kind, it bridges neuroscience, emotional intelligence, systems theory and organizational development. It is extremely informative and engaging with practical examples to deepen one?s understanding of common dysfunctional workplace dynamics.?
While he highlights the patterns that can lead to dysfunction and chaos in the workplace, Tosoff uses his guide to ask the corporate world to relate to each other in new, authentic and meaningful ways. He believes a different thought system and approach will in turn make organizations perform better. ?Oceans Beyond? challenges what Tosoff says is the business world?s archaic structure and existing notions about interpersonal relationships in the workplace.
?Organizations can only change one relationship at a time, not through lofty and opaque promises of achieving greater trust,? Tosoff says. ?Trust is extended one conscious act at a time.?
The multidimensional book uses entertaining narratives and abstract ideas to assist in achieving the goal of renewal within the business world and its employees. His stories give both victims and perpetrators of the corporate world a rare taste of justice. Self-serving billionaire and power-wielding ?Predator? William Larsen, in the story ?Fiefdom?; abusive and nasty meat packing executive Joe Martin in ?Front Page News?; nouveau riche dot.com millionaire Fredric Heinemann in ?The Terminator? all pay for the heartless and? inhumane treatment of their employees in the end, something that rarely happens in the real world. The clever and humorous chapter titles are brought to life with real world dialogue that makes it an easy read for everyone from the mailroom clerk to the CEO.
?Oceans Beyond: In Search of the Enlightened Organization? is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
