5.0 out of 5 stars OD is in crisis and this book tells you why!
As someone who has been practicing Organizational Development for the past 20 years, I have felt like I have been in a declining profession. This book taps the knowledge and insight of top thinkers in the field and tells us why this is happening. There analysis is right on the money. People who practice and believe in OD may find the authors conclusions depressing, but...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected...
I love to read -- and I love to read books about Organization Development. This one has more of a text book feel which wasn't really what I expected. Honestly, I didn't get very far in the book -- maybe only into the second chapter and I was bored. I don't mean to be rude, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. It sounded like a lot of whining -- trying to figure out...

This review is from: Reinventing Organization Development (Hardcover)
As someone who has been practicing Organizational Development for the past 20 years, I have felt like I have been in a declining profession. This book taps the knowledge and insight of top thinkers in the field and tells us why this is happening. There analysis is right on the money. People who practice and believe in OD may find the authors conclusions depressing, but I would rather know what the reality of the situation is and build from there. This is an important book for launching the dialoge about our "at-risk" profession.

This review is from: Reinventing Organization Development (Hardcover)
I love to read -- and I love to read books about Organization Development. This one has more of a text book feel which wasn't really what I expected. Honestly, I didn't get very far in the book -- maybe only into the second chapter and I was bored. I don't mean to be rude, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. It sounded like a lot of whining -- trying to figure out how to gain respect for Organization Development consultants rather than an educational book about the subject matter. Since I was reading it for pleasure, I stopped reading it... and bought a different book. I considered asking for a refund, but it's not the seller's fault that I didn't like the book that I'd purchased. Anyone want my copy?
