Why is it important?
Lewin’s methods, though little known, yield consistent business results such as increased performance and morale. His methods have the rare impact of not just changing behavior, but of changing the beliefs, such as prejudice, that underlie behavior. His theories apply to individual behavior, group and organizational dynamics, and even national and international scope, such as the workings of an effective democracy and the reconstruction of Germany.
Perspectives
Mentored by my father, I've been applying Lewinian social science all my adult life. The principles are sound, the methods practical. I wnat to spread this information far and wide, in the interest of making a better world.
