The third edition of this ground-breaking book continues to advance its mission to support groups to do their best thinking. It demonstrates that meetings can be much more than merely an occasion for solving a problem or creating a plan. Every well-facilitated meeting is also an opportunity to stretch and develop the perspectives of the individual members, thereby building the strength and capacity of the group as a whole. With previous editions already embraced by business and community leaders and consulting professionals around the world, this new book is even more insightful and easy to use. New for this edition:
● Sixty pages of brand new skills and tools
● Many new case examples
● Major expansion and reorganization of the advanced sections of the book
● New chapter: Teaching A Group About Group Dynamics
● And more
