Abstract
For over 70 years, Edgar H. Schein creatively and systematically shaped and advanced theory and practice in areas such as organization development and change, career dynamics, the cultural dynamics of complex systems, leadership, process consultation (PC), and the clinical inquiry/research paradigm. This reflective chapter is built around Schein’s foundational theme of the scholar–practitioner. As such, it explores the impact of his work on the scholar–practitioner as artist, PC and Bourdieu’s notion of habitus, the role of context and collaborative design dimensions (CDD) in relationships, psychological safety and organizational culture, humble inquiry, and the role that social scientists play in confronting global crises. Trajectories of broad areas for future explorations are discussed.
