Warren Bennis
Ursus:
--- Quote from: "Ursus" ---Incomplete but nonetheless useful timeline for Warren Bennis' career, taken from pp9-11 of a PowerPoint presentation Group Development: What Bion, Bennis, Shepard, Schutz, Drexler, and Sibbett Say About Us given at a business conference. Pre-conference Intensive--PRED103; 40th OD Network Annual Convention; October 1-3, 2004.
OD refers to "Organization Development," a school of thought which I believe arose out of the T-Groups encounter sessions (which Bennis was involved with in at least its early days). See HERE and HERE for some more info on T-Groups.

Wilfred Bion was one of the founding members of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in the UK, which was started some time around World War II. Therapeutic communities were his brainchild. The Northfield Experiments, as they were called, were intended to assist shell-shocked military personnel on psych leave...in returning to their military duties as expediently and with the lowest overhead possible. By having the patients participate in each other's "therapy," so-called progress came about quicker (and cheaper).
National Training Labs, begun around the same time in the States, was focused on some of the same issues, and there was much back and forth between the two organizations.

There's a good reason for Warren Bennis's involvement with Hyde: he's a Hyde parent! Will Martin(?) Bennis was there in the middle 1980's.

Some further corroboration from the "Hyde-Bath Class Notes" section of the Spring 2004 edition of Hyde's Alumni News:
--- Quote ---1987
Will Bennis finished his doctoral studies at the U. of Chicago. He received a Ph.D. in Psychology and Human Development and moved to Berlin, Germany, to begin a yearlong fellowship at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. Will plans to research the implications of sociocultural environments upon people when they make decisions.
