SUMMARY
Presenting a new theory of power, a new practice of management and a new theory of social science, this volume contradicts the following received wisdoms: that 'all power corrupts'; that all organizational structure constrains; and that social science is 'purer' the more it is divorced from action. Torbert presents a conceptualization of power that generates productivity, justice and inquiry; develops a theory of 'liberating structure' through which organizations can generate continual quality improvement; and introduces a new paradigm of engaged social science - 'action inquiry'.Torbert, William R. is the author of 'The Power of Balance: Transforming Self, Society, and Scientific Inquiry - William R. Torbert - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780803940673 and ISBN 080394067X.
