Disappearing Acts: Gender, Power, and Relational Practice at Work
"Joyce Fletcher delineates the emotionally supportive, sometimes selfless behaviors that create the social glue that gets tasks doneand holds teams, even whole organizations, together. She then shows,with devastating clarity, how organizations ignore and devalue thesesame behaviors in those crucial moments when rewards and promotionsare handed out. This book will open the eyes of those who did notunderstand these disappearing acts, and it will make those whosecontributions have been 'disappeared,' feel—at long last—recognized and appreciated."Joanne Martin, Fred H. Merrill Professor of Organizational Behavior, Graduate School of Business, StanfordUniversity"Here is something truly new. This book can change our understandingof what work is and how it can be best done. It offers both aprofound vision and clear practical applications."Jean Baker Miller, Director, Jean Baker Miller Training Institute, Stone Center, Wellesley College
