'The Unconscious at work' - this of, course, is the title of a standard text (book) written by Anton Obholtzer et al but the title alone, as intended, suggests that, how we act and interact in the workplace, is not just driven by conscious forces but by unconscious forces too.
...and just as in individuals (i.e., 'us') unconscious forces can be helpful but also unhelpful so too in the work setting this process can undermine and indeed sabotage the primary task of the organisation.
You may think/feel that this is just mindless psychobabble but this theory underpins a whole branch of organisational consultancy and has done for at least the last 70 years........
