I didn’t want it to come to this but I’m counting this as a book read. Hear me out! I had to read it FOUR TIMES for my communications class. Granted 3/4 I was skimming to find an in text citation I could use but it counts for sure.

I read this great book on group dymamics and found it to be a powerful read. I spoend most of my time trying to get groups or shifts to perform and execute at a high level. Anyone who job it is to motivate and inspire groups of people will find it to be a very challenging task. This book explains the conflcits that take place both positive and negative as groups begin to take shape and reshape themselves into high perfoming teams. I learned much from the book especially about the early stages "forming and storming" that i did not quite understand. This book opened my insight into the dynamics of groups like none other i have read in the past. i highly recommend the book for anyone looking to make autonomous and adpative teams.

Me gustaría troops del libro. La definition de Liderazgo o el capitulo final donde se ejemplifica cómo evaluar los equipos y su desempeño. Sin embargo el libro está lleno de ejemplos tremendamente evidentes y simples, los cuales me aburrieron profundamente. Quizás este libro sería bueno durante la etapa escolar, pero en la medida que avanzas en tu carrera sientes que te deja con poco sabor.

Written by a fossil about a past world. Almost everything in this book is permeated by obsolete attitudes and organizational conceptions.

The second-edition of this book was used as a course book for CommRc 1106, Small Group Communication, in the Fall of 2008 at the University of Pittsburgh. Mostly well-outlined, punctuated with a few awkward sentences and many good anecdotes, this book is a good supplement to navigating the worlds of small-group work, whether they be virtual or reality based. Informative and education.
