RTSC Spotlight with Billie Alban

Listen in as Billie Alban and I talk about how we've deepened our learning and improved client work by inviting colleagues to think through issues and opportunities in our practices. Join our learning journey through Billie's partnership with Barbara Bunker, Marv Weisbord's upcoming third edition of Productive Workplaces, Warren Bennis' question for leadership teams of, "What has come clear to you lately?" We cover a lot of ground including the simple messages we hear whispered in our ears that guide our work: "Don't catch the client's disease;" "Start with the work. Better team work and trust will follow;" "Get the system in the room;" "Meet the client where they are".

Billie's been a leading light in the field of Organization Development for many years. Among other contributions, Barbara and her book, Large Group Interventions, helped name and create the field of large group work that we now think of as a core element of any large scale change effort.
