Organization Development Today

How can organizations and the individuals within them flourish? And what is the nature of effective modern leadership in today's volatile world? Those questions are crucial for creating workplaces that are not only efficient but also humane, resilient, and adaptable. Ten case studies, written by doctoral graduates of Fielding's Organization Development and Change (ODC) program, address these topics from a variety of angles. In the process, these authors address ideas such as the Quantum Intelligence Process, the need for organizational agility in small businesses, and the importance of relationships in successful entrepreneurship. The book also examines the unique role of women leaders in the technology sector, the stories of leaders in academic healthcare centers, and the challenges of mid-career transition for Chinese multinational executives. Other chapters explore the various types of collaborative processes that can lead to innovative approaches and breakthroughs. In sum, this book is a must-have for any manager or executive interested in state-of-the-art research on organization development and change.
