When the future is uncertain and the past is contested, good hosting can bring hope and co-operation into the present.Any Dialogic OD practice will bring people together for creative conversations, expanded horizons, mutual connection and committed action. The way these events are hosted can make all the difference. Mark McKergow offers an image of superb hosting as a mix of detailed planning and openness to whatever emerges, taking the lead when needed, with the intent of stepping back as quickly as possible so participants can lead themselves.This is an important resource for anyone who wants to entice groups of disparate individuals into generative conversations that stimulate new ideas and prompt committed action. It builds connections between big ideas like complexity and emergence with the small practical details of preparing, inviting people and convening a workshop, engaging people on the day, building new possibilities and refining the next steps.Dr. McKergow brings over a decade of research into the etiquette of hosting in different cultures and eras and combines it with three decades of practice in organizational development and change. The book offers a framework of six hosting roles to help navigate the inevitable ups and downs of working with large (and small) groups. Written in an engaging and witty style, the principles of hosting are brought to life in a lively and detailed case example which shows the practical impact and importance of insightful and flexible hosting.Chapter Titles1.

Trevor Durnford

Mark McKergow at his Insightful and practical best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2020

Verified Purchase

What I find best about Mark McKergow's writing is how he manages explore relatively complex subjects and making them very accessible. Littered with examples and stories this book is a real help to me (and I imagine many others in similar professions) in helping teams organisations with the increasing demands that comes with change. I highly recommend it.
