Mr. Crosby has been an OD practitioner since 1984. He is on a mission to apply Kurt Lewin’s methods to organizational and social change, and to spread Lewin’s methods to the world. Mr. Crosby asserts that the OD profession doesn’t need new theories as much as it needs to understand and apply Lewin’s universal theory of social science, including concepts such as democratic style of leadership, group dynamics, group decision, the social construction of reality, minority relations, re-education, field theory, and change as three steps. When integrated these concepts form a systemic approach that can be applied by hourly workers, community organizers, and PhDs alike.
