The
Zen of Groups
A
Handbook for People Meeting with a Purpose
by Dale Hunter, Anne Bailey and Bill Taylor
Everyone belongs
to groups all their lives - families, sports, organisations, business,
schools, community, education and recreation groups. This book is designed
to help you become a more effective member of a group and to make the
group to which you belong a more effective one.
The Zen of Groups
is arranged in two sections. The first nine chapters contain the essence
of effective work in groups highlighted by "thinking points" which help
summarize the author's informative text. The second part of the book
is a "Toolkit" giving 96 techniques and exercises to assist any group
to move through the process and stages to make group "synergy" a reality.
The Zen of Groups
is written in an informal style, and based on the author's experience
of working with a wide range of groups over many years. It will be of
immense value to facilitators and group members alike.
