Beyond the amazing interventions, Crosby shares mostly unknown information about the beginning of Organization Development and integrates social justice

Memoirs of a Change Agent is the most comprehensive book ever written to illustrate Organization Development (OD). It includes significant interventions in manufacturing, nuclear industry, software and community development. The author takes one into the nitty-gritty of his successful interventions.

Beyond the amazing interventions, Crosby shares mostly unknown information about the beginning of Organization Development and integrates social justice with it as was the case in the birth of the T-group and the Organization Development movement.

"Our turnaround was valued at hundreds of millions of dollars...the underlying most significant change was a human intervention (goal alignment, survey feedback and Crosby's Skill Groups)." -George Bergeron Executive Vice President, Alcoa (Retired)

"Crosby's account of the use of the T-group and Kurt Lewin's social psychology is a must read for practitioners and academics." -Edgar H. Schein, Professor Emeritus, MIT

"At last, a book that integrates the myriad threads of humanity, OD, T-groups, and social justice, threads often seen as unrelated." -Dr. Gloria J. Burgess, CEO & President, Jazz International

"Robert Crosby's knowledge of the importance and application of T-groups is unsurpassed." -Dr. W.Warner Burke, Columbia, University

"How does significant change come about? Read this book and marvel, as I did, with how change is accomplished." -Dr. Rodney D. Coates, Miami University

"A gift to OD practitioners. He whispers at your shoulder: Here's what to expect, how to handle it, and the underlying principle." -Barry Oshry, Developer of the Power Lab

"An exquisite text lovingly imagined for the next generation, this tour de force should be required for aspiring applied social psychologists." -Dr. Richard A. Schmuck, University of Oregon

Wonderful Story, But Small Print
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My son really likes this book. He usually doesn’t enjoy reading much, but this one caught his interest right away. The illustrations are great, and the story is engaging too. He finished the book in just two days! I already bought the second one and am thinking about getting the whole series. The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the letters. It wasn’t very easy for my 9-year-old to read on his own, and sometimes I had to help him.

Big fan!!!
Format: Paperback
Such a wholesome story great for all ages. I've been a fan of Meesh for years on Instagram and when I saw there was a book... I HAD to get it. I read it in about an hour with interruptions form a puppy. I absolutely love the illustrations and story. The quality of printing was fantastic and I am looking forward to the next one!

Fun and engaging book!
Format: Paperback
This book was just what my 8 year old was looking for. She loved it! She has a great imagination and loves to play, but not always read. This held her attention and she finished it in a day! Now she’s begging for the second book!

fun, diversity filled, read
Format: Kindle
I think this was a great fantasy book with lots of magic about friendship, courage, and finding your identity, whatever that may be. I liked how even if demons seemed bad at first, they are just different. Everyone is.
