by Manuel London; Marilyn London
From the jacket flap
Leading a small group, committee, or task force can be a daunting process even for the most experienced leader. Leading a small group that meets periodically requires different skills from supervising an ongoing work group. Your job as a leader of a small group is to make something happen and do it fast.
First-Time Leaders of Small Groups offers novice and experienced leaders the information they need to keep their members interested and involved, resolve conflicts and deal with difficult people, and ultimately have their group achieve results . . . quickly. The book includes four steps for preparing to lead (selecting members, setting the groundwork for high performance, planning, and establishing your leadership style) and four steps for taking the lead (starting right, working smart, coaching, and assessing). These steps will help you take the lead with confidence. First-Time Leaders of Small Groups is filled with illustrative examples of a wide range of small groups and provides clear suggestions for action. The book includes:
Questions and answers based on research on what works well, and what does not
- Diagnostics for determining your group's strengths and weaknesses
-
Leadership challenges--ideas for overcoming common difficulties
-
Self-assessments to help build confidence as a group leader
-
Examples of approaches for different group situations
-
Models for understanding how groups work
-
Activities for improving group functions
-
Key research findings
-
Easy-to-follow suggestions for practice
First-Time Leaders of Small Groups is a unique resource for helping all leaders work with their small groups to achieve success.
