The great social psychologist Harold Leavitt has died. It is a great loss for his family and for social science. Hal was one of the most insightful scholars in organizational behavior. As as social psychologist, he was a central figure in two important areas in organizational behavior: decision theory and human relations. He contributed to both arenas as a faculty member at Carnegie's GSIA during the 1950s and as a member of MIT's behavioral science group during its heyday in the era of human relations.
Later, as a professor at Stanford's GSB, Hal's writings contributed significantly to my own thinking about business education.
It is a sad day for organizational behavior.
Is he the guy who wrote Poetry and Prophecy?
