OD, Change and Leadership:Understanding of organizational structures, development and it’s inner life for handling change processes.

Organizations: corporate and civil society institutions, are developing and growing just as human beings. Since organizational structures and processes influence worker behavior and motivation it is important to understand them for leaders. As in infancy one starts with innovative energy, enthusiastic and curious about what will happen next and like children do in the presence of beloved parents,organizations in their inception may be pioneers with passion and energy of its founders. As adolescents,one reaches another level which needs change and experimentation and new initiatives but also structure and rules so that one is successful. Similarly in this stage, organizations may be chaotic and risk taking but require employees to feel safe inside reliable boundaries so they may do their work successfully. This development level asks for challenging institutionalized processes and a different style of leadership .As in individual adulthood, organizations in maturity show self responsibility and the practice of democratic chairperson-ship. Tasks are done effectively alone or in teams within well defined boundaries. The established context of rules, laws, protocols and operative structures are the basis of organizational culture and may sometimes be taken for granted even when there is need to change and reorient to avoid decadence or death.

In this workshop we will share experiences of different organizations where we are placed and work practically on main topics of OD to improve our knowledge and management skills of ourselves in organizations based on a holistic Theme Centered Interaction Leadership approach.

Theme Centered Interaction:

Theme Centered Interaction is a concept of running groups, not just a bag of techniques, rather it is a distinct method based on the idea of learning as an experiential,active, creative and discovering activity.‘Living Learning’ as TCI is called, emphasizes the attentive awareness of oneself and others in personal and professional contexts; the strengthening of independence and autonomy in relationships; imparting knowledge in a lively way, involving participants in this process; promoting cooperation rather than rivalry and integrating the demands of the working task with a regard for the individual and for the interpersonal relationships.
