Comments for Organizational Psychology http://michaelnaumes.wordpress.com A blog about Southern Oregon University's Master in Organization Training and Development Mon, 19 May 2008 16:16:32 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 Comment on Relating effective group facilitation to politics and good leadership by catchthevision http://michaelnaumes.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/10/#comment-650 catchthevision Mon, 19 May 2008 16:16:32 +0000 http://michaelnaumes.wordpress.com/?p=10#comment-650 I like where you are going with this, but I do see a flaw. In the UK we have had experience of partnership working , involving people from different political parties, as well as people who are not involved in party politics. Things go well, and often a measure of agreement can be reached on difficult issues, UNTIL we get near election time. Then politicians have to exaggerate their differences in the hope of getting elected. This is presumably an expression of our life where everything is becoming more and more like a market? The politicians are seeking greater and greater market differentiation, at a time when open communications is making this more and more problematic? I hope to blog myself on this in the near future, so do feel free to visit and comment how I get on! I like where you are going with this, but I do see a flaw.

I use what I have learned from conducting Training at SRI (which also included an OD work) in my Medford counseling practice. Many people come into counseling stressed by organizational change. Good leadership is needed so couples and families are positively impacted by the changes their companies choose to make.
