About This Book
Listening deeply is the foundation of all effective organizational management, research, and consulting. This book explores the many aspects of attentive listening through storytelling and includes examples of organizational case studies. In Stein’s practice, listening deeply is an attitude evoked by the psychoanalytic concept of hovering attention—a careful attending to the person or group one is trying to help and an equally careful attending to how one is hearing these others. The listener’s own feelings are as crucially diagnostic as what the consultant observes in other people.

This new edition of Listening Deeply updates historical context, theory, method, and organizational stories. A psychodynamic orientation informs much of the book and the language Stein uses is direct. His lessons are useful to the manager in any kind of organization, as well as practitioners of psychology, sociology, business management, medicine, and education.

Praise For This Book
“This impressive book continues to be a critical contribution to our field and is something we should all read carefully as it addresses a vital but sometimes ignored aspect of our research. It is of great value and will be widely used.”—Deward E. Walker, Jr., University of Colorado, author of An Ethnographic Assessment of Some Cultural Landscapes in Southern Wyoming and Idaho
“A psychodynamic orientation informs much of Listening Deeply and the language Stein uses is direct. His lessons are useful to the manager in any kind of organization, as well as practitioners of psychology, sociology, business management, medicine, and education. Well written, organized and presented, Listening Deeply is an extraordinary work of exceptional scholarship and very highly recommended for corporate, community, and academic library Business Management collections and supplemental studies reading lists.”—Midwest Book Review
“Stein delivers his simultaneously profound yet practical insights in easily-understood, interesting narrative using bits of preface and explanation wrapped around illustrative stories that give feeling to the points. This is much of the method of deep listening.”—Edward Knop, International Institute for Sustainable Development, Colorado State University
