In this seminal publication on helping, corporate and business culture and organizational development master Ed Schein analyzes the dynamics of helping relationships, explains why help is often not helpful, and shows what any would-be-helper should do to insure that help is in fact provided.Many words are being used for helping -- assisting, aiding, advising, coaching, consulting, counseling, supporting, teaching, and so many more -- but they all have common dynamics and processes. Schein exposes and shows how to solve the inequities and role ambiguities of helping relationships, describes the various roles that helpers may take once the marriage is balanced, and explains developing a balanced marriage and how to intervene as that marriage develops. In such a short but profound publication Schein examines the cultural dynamics that are at play in assisting relationships in order to better realize why offers of help are sometimes refused or resented, and how to make help more helpful.
