Have you ever sensed something when you engage with another individual and you can’t really pinpoint what it exactly is? This could be in the relationships you have in your life, communities you engage with or at work. When you have two people in the mix interacting with each other, dynamics occur - which basically is a pattern of behaviour between two people that impact the way they interact and relate.
Now, looking at dynamics in organisations specifically, academic researchers and authors Hans van Dijk and Stefan Cloudt have written a comprehensive book identifying 9 destructive dynamics in organisations.
I really enjoyed reading the book, learned how to make sense of those dynamics and it gave me a language and tools for congruent interventions. This book has been written in Dutch and I genuinely think a wider audience can benefit from its learnings. So, in this episode Hans and I unpack those destructive dynamics for you to benefit from.
