Thorndike Professor of Psychology and Education  Teachers College, Columbia University  Kurt Lewin (1890-1947) was a visionary psychologist and social scientist who used rigorous research methods to establish an approach to planned change that is both practical and reliable. He mentored and inspired most of the early professionals who came to identify themselves as practitioners of organization development (OD). He also fostered the emergence of the experiential learning method known as the T-group, which uniquely structures group dynamics into a laboratory for dramatic individual and team development. In the early days, most OD professionals learned much about themselves and about group dynamics through T-group experiences.   Lewin’s methods, though little known, yield consistent business results such as increased performance and improved morale. His approaches have the rare impact of not just changing behavior, but changing the beliefs that underlie behavior. Sadly, most OD professionals today— business and organizational leaders, community organizers, and people, in general—have never read any of Lewin’s actual writing beyond a quote or two. Indeed, some in the OD profession have rejected or distanced themselves from what they think Lewin taught, even though they and many others seem to know very little about his methods or history. Because Lewin was a prolific writer, one of the author’s main goals is to organize his immense body of published work so that readers can easily explore the source material and form their own opinions.   Essentially, this book is aimed at introducing Lewin in a new way, both simplified yet substantial enough to guide anyone who is trying to plan change, whether at the individual, group\/team, organizational, or societal levels. Lewin was not trying to create methods for OD professionals alone (or for social scientists as he regarded himself). In his interventions, he taught those how to do their own version of planned change. He believed social science might be the light that helps create a brighter future for humanity. This text transfers this knowledge to a broad audience so that each reader can more successfully implement organizational and social change.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49757436739857,"sku":"CIN0367535726G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697845735697,"sku":"NGR9780367535728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51119166259473,"sku":"NIN9780367535728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531757515025,"sku":"NLS9780367535728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367535726.jpg?v=1751071709"},{"product_id":"planned-change-book-gilmore-crosby-9780367535773","title":"Planned Change","description":"\"Gil Crosby has accomplished what most of us in the world of applied behavioral science, in general, and OD and T-Group training, in particular, have not—making the theoretical father of our work accessible.

It explains change methods through real-life experiences of frontline workers. Just as history has primarily been written by the victors, leadership and management theory have been written from the top. An exception is Kurt Lewin, whose action-research established that people on the frontlines are best positioned to create and sustain change. This book’s authors have practiced that approach over two generations for the past 70 years. They were deeply influenced by the blue-collar wisdom of the author’s grandfather, an hourly worker in the railyards of Pittsburgh.  Leadership and the Frontline Workforce teaches via interviews of those who were present both before and after Lewin‑style change, telling the stories of the workers who have experienced the good, bad, and the ugly of being targets of change at the bottom of systems.   A colleague of the author, Cotton Mears (1956–2019), intended to write this book but only got as far as a title, “View from a target.” He was a pot room tender in Alcoa’s Warrick aluminum smelter—one of the toughest jobs in the plant—when Robert P. Crosby arrived on the scene. Their relationship launched Cotton’s own organization development career. Following Cotton’s untimely death in 2019, Robert’s son, Gilmore Crosby, felt inspired to bring this book to life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51598840594705,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51598843412753,"sku":"NGR9781041027966","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52613498798353,"sku":"NLS9781041027966","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1041027966.jpg?v=1751466183"},{"product_id":"diversity-without-dogma-book-gilmore-crosby-9781032371757","title":"Diversity Without Dogma","description":"This book uses Lewin's social science to sort through the many approaches to and positions held on race, racism, diversity, and related topics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52590021280017,"sku":"NLS9781032371757","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032371757.jpg?v=1761061229"},{"product_id":"leadership-can-be-learned-book-gilmore-crosby-9781032928609","title":"Leadership Can Be Learned","description":"Leadership is poorly understood because human systems are poorly understood.
