How do successful groups resolve conflicts? How do groups evaluate their effectiveness and create and implement change strategies when necessary? In this newly revised edition of his classic 1982 work, group dynamics pioneer and leading small-groups scholar Alvin Zander draws on the latest research to show how groups can function more effectively and achieve the full potential of group work. For leaders and group supervisors as well as members of teams, boards, task forces, and other groups, Zander offers a clear vision of what makes groups work Making Groups Effective offers sound advice on how to make members want to be part of the group and work for the good of the group, facilitate group discussion and overcome obstacles to decision making, set realistic goals and acceptable standards, and cope with issues of power and influence within groups. Adding to the social psychology research of his first edition, Zander presents new findings on such current work group structures as teams and nonprofit boards in government, education, and other public agencies. In addition, the book presents five new chapters that offer managers, consultants, and team members ways to improve group effectiveness by fostering harmony among group members, resolving conflicts between groups, and improving and evaluating group operations |
