Some practitioners demonstrate a high level of personal mastery. What do they have that the rest of us long for, and where does it come from? Is such behaviour a technique that can be acquired through training?

OD and Change Bibliographies
Leadership and Systems Thinking Bibliography Contributed by Peter Dickens, The Iris Group: www.theirisgrouponline.com“As with all abridged bibliographies, mine reflects my current interest: the evolution of leadership theory, especially in the context of personal and organizational change. I also have an abiding interest in complex, adaptive systems as a frame for thinking about change as an emergent phenomena, so there are a number of resources related to that topic.” PD
Organization Development Bibliography Contributed by Mark Federman
Check out his blog: http://whatisthemessage.blogspot.com
“This is a combination of the resource list from the History and Theory of OD course in the Department of Adult Education and Counselling Psychology at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, plus a selection from my own bibliographic collection. It’s very difficult to say what’s necessary to be conversant with OD scholarship these days, since everyone takes their own approach, and that brings with it its own literature.
In this bibliography, you’ll see a great bias towards critical literature, plus several articles on issues of power and control. There are a few pieces on complexity approaches in OD that I think represent the most advanced thinking in the field.
There are also several articles on the analogues among networks, the open source movement, and organization management, themes that have been hot over the past few years. And, there are some classics (Taylor, Weber, and critiques thereof) that are important, I think, to understand how and why we arrived at some of the practices that are all too common today: in my opinion, ‘best practices,‘ the ‘case-study method,‘ and ‘knowledge management‘ are all straight out of 1911.” MF
