Handbook for Strategic HR - Section 3: Use of Self as an Instrument of Change

by OD Network, John Vogelsang PhD, Maya Townsend, Matt Minahan, David Jamieson

Overview

“Use of self” is what Organizational Development practitioners call the complex set of awareness and behaviors that make it possible to be genuinely helpful to others. Effective use of self is essential for influencing change in an organization. This section will help you understand how your assumptions influence your behavior and your perception of others; how to counter covert dynamics in the workplace that undermine productivity; how to encourage ethical leadership; how to foster inclusion; and how to continually learn about greater self-awareness and better working relationships with colleagues.
