Helping
How to Offer, Give, and Receive Help
Edgar Schein analyzes the social and psychological dynamics common to all types of helping relationships, explains why help is often not helpful, and shows how to ensure that assistance is both welcomed and genuinely useful.
“Schein provides many anecdotes from his consulting practice, and his short, practical book is rich in insights.”

DEC Is Dead, Long Live DEC
The Lasting Legacy of Digital Equipment
Corporation
Digital Equipment Corporation was one of the pioneering companies of the computer age, yet it ultimately failed. What happened? In a real-life story that reads like a classical tragedy, Schein—who was a high-level consultant to DEC—and his coauthors show that the very culture responsible for DEC’s early rise ultimately led to its downfall.
