Description

There has been a marked increase in the use of sensitivity techniques in recent times. Popular and professional references have flourished with technical articles describing sensitivity used for various objectives which focus on the reactions of the individual or the group in response to encounter. In spite of the available information, many misconceptions persist about sensitivity. The purpose of this paper is to define sensitivity and relate it to the individual in a learning environment. By tracing a picture of legitimate objectives and applications, a better perspective should emerge as to suitable conditions for its use. Finally, the results of experimentation using sensitivity in a management training and development program will be described so that others might profit, and apply this bold innovation in learning.
