| Abstract: | The concept "boundary management" first of all relates to intrapersonal and interpersonal boundaries. Aversion, defence mechanisms, fear etc. are aspects playing important roles. The only task left for managers is to keep relations inside and outside the organization open; that precludes neurotic behaviour in organizations. The solution to organizational problems lies with the managers and employees themselves. A few simple models or rather metaphors are outlined which are used in the author's consultancy activities. It is found that the consultant can only act as a catalyst in the discussions about each other's performance. |
