Success with any EOC development action rests on the fundamental belief that in an organizational setting the individual members must have the opportunity to grow if a vital organization is to remain healthy or if an ailing one is to revive. In managing change, the methodology of EOC development is to work in concert with the persons affected by the change. This fosters responsibility in managers which leads to creativity in problem resolution. What is true of individuals then becomes true of the associations they form. EOC development is also practical and functions as a discipline for focusing energy on specific goals. While most organizations begin purposefully, the goals of groups give way to individualistic aims. EOC development recognizes that all energy must be volunteered by individual managers. The wants and needs of the individual are therefore essential inputs to the goal setting process of the group. If each member participates in forming group goals and in general subscribes to those goals, then a considerable share of his/her energy and the energy of co-workers, begins to work toward a common purpose.
