Listen in as Paul and I discuss our 26 year long collaboration as he led in many situations, consistantly using OD to foster healthy group and organizational dynamics, and to hone his own leadership.

Listen in to an AI talk show on my latest book, Leadership and the Frontline Workforce: Lessons from the Targets of Change. This book is yet another labor of love, bringing to life the vision of my dearly departed friend and colleague Cotton Mears, as well as the stories of workers and bosses who were there before, during, and after Lewinian OD interventions. In the spirit of Studs Terkel, the book is built on interviews...the methods are taught while the stories are told. Enjoy!
