Another early assumption is that individuals are believed to be guided in their
actions by socially founded and communicated meanings, norms, and institutions
in which the total social setting is nothing more than the whole system of which we
perceive ourselves and others to be part. Lewin and Grabbe’s (1948, p. 57)
premise ‘that what exists as a reality for the individual is, to a high degree, determined
by what is socially accepted as a reality within the total social setting’ is
believed to have influenced the founding fathers of OD (Marrow, 1969; French
and Bell, 1999; Coghlan and Jacobs, 2005). It makes clear that only by anchoring
a person’s own conduct in something as large, substantial, and super-individual as
the whole social system can individuals stabilize new beliefs sufficiently to keep
them immune from the day-by-day fluctuations of moods and influences to which
they are subjected. These general assumptions and premises stress the importance
of participation, trust, emergent processes, dialogue, and win–win negotiations
(Quinn and Sonenshein, 2008), and have served as a foundation or departing
point for traditional OD practices.
