This document discusses organization development practitioners and their roles. There are three sets of people involved in organization development - those who specialize in it as a profession, those in related fields, and managers who apply it. Effective practitioners have attributes like diagnostic ability, empathy, problem solving skills, and flexibility. They require competencies in intrapersonal skills, interpersonal skills, general consultation skills, and organization development theory. Practitioners can be internal consultants who are organization members, or external consultants who work for firms. Internal consultants have advantages like existing relationships and understanding the organization, while externals can select projects and terminate them. Both roles require balancing between the organization and their own profession.
