Humble Inquiry and the Nature of Human Relationships

Edgar Schein is the Society of Sloan Fellows Professor of Management Emeritus and Professor Emeritus at the MIT Sloan School of Management.  Schein investigates organizational culture, process consultation, research process, career dynamics, and organization learning and change. His research on culture shows how national, organizational, and occupational cultures influence organizational performance (Organizational Culture and Leadership, fourth edition, 2010). In Helping (2009) and subsequent books, he analyzes how consultants work on problems in human systems and the dynamics of the helping process. Schein holds a BPhil from the University of Chicago, a BA and an MA in social psychology from Stanford University, and a PhD in social psychology from Harvard University.  We highly recommend that you read Helping prior to the OTHC Association annual conference.
