Helping: How to Offer, Give, and Receive Help: How to Offer, Give, and Receive Help: 1 (AGENCY/DISTRIBUTED) Paperback – 16 Mar. 2011

This is a superb book. I suppose after many years of learned writings, and practical experiences of consulting, it all comes down to something simpler. This is a process of throwing away all the complexity. This is what it looks like the author has been through.We are left with the gift of the distilled wisdom of many, many years.Boiling it all down to the simplest of human relationships, and one of great value and, indeed, love. Helping other people.

Very good

Insightful and easy to read. A must read for Consultants who desire to deliver efficient and effective service to clients.

Helping is a behaviour response most of us embrace naievly, occasionally approprietly!Schein expands this basic skill to something of a science. Helpfully, he explains the power gradient that arises in the Helping relationship, which when linked to our understanding of the role of humility in 'Servant Leadership' and 'Level 5' leadership offers a route to its practice.Hence, great leaders have learned the knack of offering and recieving help.

I read this book with a very thankfull mind. Schein is a very wise man in a time when speed and quick solutions rule. The book offers so much to reflections about your job, your relations and yourself, and it is not a cookbook for better life. It is a book that can help you to be wise and helpfull yourself. Schein says "When my knowledge has helped other people, then I know I know something" I can only say to Schein: "You know many things!"
