In this book, Joyce Fletcher presents a study of female design engineers that has profound implications for attempts to change organizational culture. Her research shows that emotional intelligence and relational behaviors, even when they are in line with stated organizational goals, are often viewed as inappropriate because they collide with powerful, gender-linked images of good workers and successful organizations. Fletcher describes how this collision "disappears" the very behavior that organizations say they need and undermines the possibility of radical change. She offers ways that individuals and organizations can make visible the invisible work--and people--critical to organizational competence and transformation. (MIT Press)
