I just woke up from a very inspiring dream. Amidst the weird dream details, I was observing (as a neighbor) a group of people, say around 30 of them, from down the hall. They were always driving each other crazy, and had very obvious dysfunctions in group dynamics.
I eventually pulled one of them aside, acknowledged what I'd been listening to with him, and offered to help. I told him that I could point out individual dysfunctions as I heard them, and give the group a list of 5 different things they could do to significantly improve that dysfunction.
While the wording and point of view in my dream is not ideal, I *think* that I'm essentially describing at least an aspect of the field of Organizational Development. Done typically with business companies.
A lot of people in my field are into it. I've historically been too timid to touch it, but having actually worked through a model of it, I'm thinking *I could do that.* I'm a long way off from it. I see myself as needing more experience working with people, and leadership training, to get to a point where I could just walk into an organization and significantly improve its functionality, but I can actually see myself doing that given some time. I think I'd like that work.
