William R. Noonan (2007) Discussing the Undiscussable: A Guide to Overcoming Defensive Routines in the Workplace<\/em> Amazon.co.uk page<\/a> Book website<\/a> (first chapter is available free from the site).
\nThis is the most accessible book on Argyris’ ideas if you’re interested in applying them personally. The book has many stories of the author failing to produce ‘open for learning’ behaviour which I’ve found very helpful.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris Argyris, Robert Putnam, and Diana McLain Smith (1985) <\/em>Action Science: Concepts, Methods, and Skills for Research and Intervention. <\/em>
\nAs this book is out of print, it is\u00a0available as a free PDF download<\/a>. The second half is an excellent description of how to learn how to produce behaviour consistent with ‘Model II’.<\/p>\n

Roger Martin (2003).\u00a0The Responsibility Virus: How Control Freaks, Shrinking Violets-and the Rest of Us-Can Harness the Power of True Partnership
\n<\/a><\/em>Here’s a good review of the book<\/a>, and a free PDF – ‘Board Governance and The Responsibility Virus’<\/a> which covers some of the main points, including a good lay-person summary of the governing values of ‘Model I’ and ‘Model II’<\/p>\n

Sue Clark & Mel Myers (2007)<\/em>.\u00a0Managing Difficult Conversations at Work<\/a> A practically focussed book with a very good description of the ‘open to learning’ (Model II) approach. It has annotated example conversations and is very useful if you’re wondering “What do ‘open to learning’\/Model II conversations actually look like?”<\/p>\n
