| Abstract
|
:
|
"Illustrated by case studies based on extensive research in schools, hospitals, social work agencies, healthcare centres and religious institutions, Holding Fast identifies the problems faced by caregiving organizations, and outlines appropriate strategies for tackling these to create a resilient, effective organization." "Holding Fast offers a portrait of how organizations become or are prevented from becoming systems of caregiving. It will help leaders of caregiving organizations and their staff gain a better understanding of the difficulties encountered by their organizations, leading to improved management and practice."--Jacket.
