RESOURCES IN THIS ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY
Over the past months, I ran into other interesting resources, feeding my journey of unfolding towards a more complex worldview, and its translation in the workplace. I have been naturally keeping track of these readings for a while, but figured it could be smart to share them here as well – as always, for my current and future teammates to better understand what I am going through.
Also running into something helpful? Please let me know!
