| Abstract: | The process of learning to perform organizational development (OD) work in full time is discussed. In studying this, a "clinical" analysis of a journal is kept by one of the authors was conducted during 20 months tenure as an OD manager, and of the experience and training of both authors in this field. Many personal and professional struggles were revealed in this research, which are integral to the development of the self in the role of the OD practitioner. Ways of conceptualizing and handling these struggles, and thereby the work of practicing OD are offered. |
