Purchase options and add-ons

Reflecting the authors' unique combination of academic expertise and group consultant experience, this new edition of Groups includes the latest Research on group dynamics and the most current views on ways to make working in groups more effective. Napier and Gershenfeld present complex concepts in a way that makes them more understandable, recognizing that readers are more familiar with the dynamics of the individual behavior and building on that knowledge to teach group theory.

Throughout the text they are presented with tools that help them apply concepts and theories. Case studies provide real-life context, and Reader Activities (reflective exercises) and Individual Experiments--creation and observation of group situations--engage readers in the learning process by asking them to apply what they learn to their own lives. At the end of every chapter, For Further Information sections list book and Web resources to provide an expanded perspective of concepts discussed in the book.

    After 40 years in the field, Rod Napier has integrated the lessons he's gained from what he calls his "strange and winding path to professional development" into several core principles:

    ​

    Allotting sufficient time of the right intensity is critical for success.

    To change habits and behavior, individuals and groups must exercise discipline and rigor.

    Understanding fundamentals of leadership and team building and developing the skills to implement them is key.

    Learning to move seamlessly from theory to application underlies all the work; without that, all the practice in the world is only that.​

    ​​

    Rod’s primary work continues to be in executive team building and leadership development. His yearlong executive development program combines personal, team and institutional feedback with problem-solving and decision-making skills. It focuses on building trust and the willingness to risk, while managing conflict at the individual and team level. Finally, participants develop strategic design skills, creating opportunities for more productive and challenging meetings.

    ​

    Currently, Rod teaches graduate courses in the Coaching Program at the University of Pennsylvania’s Division of Organizational Dynamics. He also maintains a select coaching practice among a small circle of institutional leaders.

    ​

    For 1995–2002, Rod taught Executive Team Dynamics at the Wharton School. From 1965–77, as a professor at Temple University, Rod contributed to the formative years of the group dynamics movement. In 1975, he introduced the first prototype for 360-degree feedback, which is now central to most programs of leadership development. Always working to move ideas into action, he has authored or co-authored a dozen books in the field.

    ​

    His 5 day Group Leadership Intensive (GLI) is recognized as one of the most challenging leadership development courses. It is the oldest program of it's kind in the country & has attracted key leaders and facilitators for over 40 years.

    I had to purchase this book for a group facilitation course I was taking. I found it not only to be useful for group facilitation strategies but also an effective guide for learning leadership and teamwork ideas. The authors used many different resources to bring out the best resource for engaging in effective leadership. I am so sorry this book is no longer in print. I have referred it to many of my colleagues and hope that it will remain available for purchase. I garnered many useful ideas that I have been implementing in my work with adults.

    I had to purchase this book for a class I was taking. The book is informative towards having to work with groups. I kept the book for reference in the event I may need to review some information.

    The book was necessary for a course I am taking but it was interesting none the less. It's interesting to try to understand group dynamics as we are associated with groups in most of our everyday situations. Even in a line waiting at the DMV we are a part of a group that wishes to get a license or get an accident report etc. I was satisfied with the purchase and the delivery time and will continue to shop Amazon.

    I am renting this book now and it has history to it. I wish the copy that they gave me was in better condition than this. However, it beats having to buy the book for school.
