The Clover Practice™ is described in the book Staying Healthy in Sick Organizations: The Clover Practice™ (BookSurge, 2008). This practice as described by author Kathleen A. Paris, Ph.D. is a means for achieving less stress and more peace of mind in the workplace. Three principles comprise The Clover Practice™: Tell the truth, always; Speak for yourself; and Declare your interdependence. The author claims that contemporary workplaces tend to be systematically unhealthy because of obsolete organizing principles of hierarchy and patriarchy and command and control systems, the fact that too many supervisors are not prepared or fit to supervise others, and the willingness to maintain organizational illusions.
