This book on teamwork is different from others in that instead of expecting a facilitator to be responsible for group success these authors posit that it is the individual group members who are critical for successful collaboration. Teamwork isnt always productive. In some cases, collaboration can lead to group members feeling anxious, vulnerable, and distrustful of others. The way through this is to capacitate groups to structure thoughtful conversations that lead to better decision making for sustainable change. This book gives team members guidance on how to be effective mindful members who construct meaning, listen, are selfrevealing, have social sensitivity, adhere to group norms, maintain awareness of group processes, and monitor group goals. The focus of this book is on cultivating and sustaining generative groups where everyone takes an active role in determining the success or failure of the groups work.Specifications.
