Synopsis

Does your organization focus too much on the short term? Do you often use quick fixes? Do you find yourself saying, "We've been in this mess before"? Systems Archetype Basics, the second volume in The Pegasus Workbook Series, introduces you to eight systems archetypes—recurring systemic "stories" that crop up in all organizations. Like Systems Thinking Basics, this new resource offers detailed explanations, examples, and practice activities to help you recognize the archetypes and intervene. Use Systems Archetype Basics to address the most pressing challenges of organizational life today.
