From the Back Cover

Organization Development

Organization Development is a one-stop guide to the world of planned change.

Experienced consultants and change agents will find chapters that capture best thinking on key topics―resources for fine-tuning skills, learning about intervention options, envisioning organization development’s future, or reflecting on the larger issues in growth and change. Leaders and managers will find the resources they need to understand the route to organizational health and effectiveness, and to develop, launch, and nourish successful change efforts. Organization development has a powerful and influential heritage, solid core, evolving applications and approaches, and a vital role to play in today’s global, fast-paced world of constant change. This volume immerses readers deeply in organization development’s power and possibilities.
