Noer authored the lead article in the September issue of Change This. His piece,“Breaking Organizational Codependence: Downsizing’s Liberating Wake-Up Call,” focuses on the heavy price employees pay for a codependent relationship with their organization.
The article includes Noer’s self-assessment instrument that gives those who complete it a measure of the degree of their susceptibility to a codependent organizational relationship. Change This is a well-known online publication that publishes “manifestos” dealing with organizational change and development.
Noer was also quoted in a Forbes leadership column that deals with how to fire people. His quote deals with the need to be authentic and not bound by a script.
