Dear fellow list members,

Here is the "good reading" list I compiled from the direct responses to my
request in LO522. Additionally, some titles were sent directly to the
list. To avoid redundance, I did not include them here.

I would like to thank the following people for their responses:

Bob Neilson neilson@ndu.edu
Diane Weston DMWeston@AOL.COM
Sean Gawne gawnesm@songs.sce.com
Michael Ayers mbayers@mmm.com
Tim Sullivan TJSULLIV@BCSC02.GOV.BC.CA

Regards,

Kai Simon

This whole issue of "Organizational Dynamics" has articles on OL, including
one by Edgar Schein and one by Bill Isaacs, if I recall correctly. I think
the best Argyris article was the one in the Harvard Busines Review,
May-June 1991, "Teaching Smart People How to Learn."
