"This is a revised and updated edition of Harry Levinson's guide to assessing organizations of many kinds, Organizational Diagnosis. Drawing on over 30 years of experience as a psychologist and organizational consultant, Dr. Levinson walks readers through each phase of the assessment, providing detailed procedures applicable by psychologists of any orientation. Readers are shown how to introduce the assessment to staff, gather data and interview, draw inferences from the data, arrive at conclusions, and present the information to the organization. A case example illustrates some common issues and how to address them. Special attention is given to the consultant's interactions with the organization's chief executive as well as its personnel and to the consultant's own experiences and feelings when working in the role of assessor. The guidelines presented are relevant not only to businesses but also to a wide range of other organizations, such as hospitals, schools, and churches."--BOOK JACKET.
