We are emotional beings in every area of our lives - including at work.
In We Are Not a Family, executive coach Nell Montgomery and psychotherapist Elisa Morris challenge the corporate myth that we can - or should - leave our emotions at the office door. Every day, we spend half our waking lives in environments where we are judged, watched and required to compete. When the pressure mounts, even the most composed adults can find themselves falling back into the patterns they first learned as children in the playground or at the dinner table.
Drawing on attachment theory, Montgomery and Morris identify the eight most prominent workplace archetypes - from the Joker and The Pleaser to The Perfectionist. Through case studies that track professionals from the office back to their childhood, this book reveals how our internal working models dictate how we handle conflict, authority and collaboration.
We Are Not a Family shows us how to forge new neural pathways, move beyond outdated coping strategies and finally show up at work as the authentic, confident adults we long to become.
