Vilification and Its Impact on Senior Leaders

內容大綱
The idea that "statistics are enough" is prevalent within stable organizations; however, this framework is not enough to understand organizational change. Data-especially less visible data-is necessary. This book explores the intersecting social systems of organizations and looks at organizational challenges in a new light. Each chapter is written by a different author and provides thoughts useful in context; rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the authors construct pathways for exploration and experimentation, starting with the "why" behind organizational challenges before moving on toward "how:" practical ways to change. Business leaders and followers will benefit from this text, learning to uncover and frame the dynamics that influence change and crisis on all levels-individual, group, and organizational. Businesspeople can and should look into the less visible parts of organizational life; this can change the world of work. Chapter 5 looks at what happens on a leader's conscious level and subconscious level when vilification occurs. A case study based on several interviews is provided. Five meta-experiences are offered to categorize the effects of and reactions to vilification: emotional state, impact on relationships, social defenses, conflict management, and recovery and healing. These are all conscious experiences. Subconsciously, leaders perceive they are being vilified by others in these situations, which equates to being stigmatized. This in turn can trigger threat appraisal, identity threat, and cognitive dissonance. Ultimately, leaders can make sense of things, which leads to healing. Rewriting self-narratives and telling their story can be integral for recovery. Awareness of these experiences and mental processes can be applied in the professional and personal domains. Insights particularly for executive coaches are also offered.
