It covers such topics as: the work on self as integral to organizational change; the revision of Lewinian concepts for a new era; and the history behind “getting everybody improving whole systems” as a response to fast change and increasing diversity (not the same as using any particular method). The themes, case studies (many revisited), and models are as relevant as ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpdates from the Field xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword by Billie Alban: The Existential Question xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface: Welcome to \u003ci\u003eProductive Workplaces, 25th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/i\u003e xxvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Getting the Most from \u003ci\u003eProductive Workplaces\u003c\/i\u003e xxxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eMythology and Managing 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne A Mythology of Organizational Change 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo How I Learned to Manage by Managing 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eSearching for Productive Workplaces 33\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree Scientific Management: A Tale of Two Taylors 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFour Taylor Invents a New Profession 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFive Action Research: Lewin Revises Taylorism 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSix Lewin’s Legacy to Management 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeven The Transition to Experiential Learning 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEight McGregor and the Roots of Organization Development 133\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNine Theories X and Y for a New Generation 149\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTen Emery and Trist Redefine the Workplace 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEleven Learning to Work in a New Paradigm 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eLearning from Experience 203\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwelve Putting Action Research to Work 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThirteen Rethinking Diagnosis and Action 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase 1.
