Kurt Lewin (Psychologist)

Kurt Lewin was a prominent psychologist known for his foundational work in social psychology and organizational development. He introduced the concept of group dynamics, which examines how people's behavior changes in group settings. Lewin also developed the idea of "unfreezing-change-refreezing," a model for understanding how to implement change in organizations effectively. His research emphasized the importance of understanding the context and environment in which people operate, influencing fields such as education, management, and community psychology. Lewin's insights remain crucial for those looking to understand and facilitate social change and effective teamwork.
