‘New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations is an important, contemporary collection of chapters that - contrary to its title – is placing TA contribution at the heart of OD practice. Coming out for publication in the midst of one of the most turbulent periods of recent times, it will offer some stability in its sense-making of organizational and development practice which we all need.’Dr. Eliat Aram, CEO, The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, London, UK"As New Theory and Practice of Transactional Analysis in Organizations is a book focused on innovation of organizational TA, we also asked a newer TA organisational generation from different countries to write a sentence or two why this book is important for TA and for the organizational field. An impressive synergy of thought leaders in the field of TA in organizations that inspire us to innovate our approach to organizations, leaders and teams." Danijela Djuric, Growth Code Consultant"In the 60’s, Berne geniously connected the individual and the collective dimension inside a single theorical approach. If human beings barely changed since then, organiszations have transformed very deeply. This wonderful book pushes "BOT" towards the 21st century. BRAVO!"Olivier BETTACH, Executive coach and method actor, Paris, France. "The book opens your eyes on the resources of agile organizations which are able to use a "negative ability", the ability to "be" (and not to "do") in uncertainty, remaining impassive, facing absence or loss of meaning, without wanting at all costs and quickly to reach results and certainties." Rossella Iannucci, Head of Internal Coaching Academy Intesa Sanpaolo Group"It's been said many times that organisations are heading into crisis over and over again. The research into how Transactional Analysis can help leaders make practical choices is growing: this book is at the cutting edge and is a must read for anyone that's serious about effective leadership through volatile times".Andrew Tailby MAChief Executive Officer TRESC Ltd"The authors are highly experienced Organisational TA Professionals. What they don’t know about working on the edge with teams and organisations is probably not worth knowing. When reading this book, you will be immersed by its wealth and blend of knowledge, wisdom, theory, and practical application. A must have for all coaches, managers and consultants ready to take risks in order to promote the wellbeing, growth and development of organisations and teams. No Risk, No Result"!Anjana RajaniTrainer/Coach @Power2Progress
