Praise for The NTL Handbook of Organization Development and Change

"Exactly what the OD field has been calling for—a compendium of models, processes, and theories culled from top NTL experts. As a handbook, you can read some or read all of these gifts of knowledge. Depending on your level of experience, this book provides either a primer or a learning curve, never before so tangible. Enjoy!"
—Therese Yaeger, associate director, Doctoral Program in Organization Development, Benedictine University
