Rosa Krausz, a pioneering educator, consultant and coach who fundamentally shaped the international field of organizational transactional analysis, died June 9 in São Paulo. She was 93.

Krausz was widely recognized for her groundbreaking work on organizational scripts, leadership, power and group dynamics. Her methodologies provided generations of practitioners with frameworks to understand the complex behavioral patterns within corporate and organizational life.

In 2012, she received the Eric Berne Memorial Award, one of the highest international honors in the field of transactional analysis, for her extensive written contributions and research.

Marguerite Sacco, president of the International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA), said Krausz leaves a "rich professional legacy." Sacco highlighted Krausz's influential article, "Organizational scripts," as a defining piece of literature for practitioners.

"It gave me a way to identify the deeper patterns running through an organization and helped leaders reflect more honestly on the culture they have inherited, created and want to change," Sacco said.

In her native Brazil, Krausz was revered not only as a brilliant scholar but as a generous mentor who dedicated her life to the formation and development of others.

Ivana Zanini, president of the União Nacional de Analistas Transacionais, the national transactional analysis association, described Krausz as a presence of profound wisdom and humanity.

"Her thought, her dedication to study and her generosity in sharing knowledge influenced generations of professionals and will continue to inspire those who continue building the paths of transactional analysis," Zanini said in a statement. "Her life was an example of coherence, dedication and love for what she believed in."

Krausz is survived by her children, grandchildren and an extensive network of family, friends and colleagues worldwide.
