Group Power I: A Manager's Guide to Using Task-Force Meetings

The task force has long been recognized as the focal center for cooperative thinking about an organization’s problems and opportunities. If a manager is to be effective, the ability to develop and lead such groups is essential. To harness this potential, however, is not a matter of “natural leadership” or “charisma.” The ability to lead a task force comprises a set of skills that a manager must deliberately set out to acquire.

Group Power I shows how to develop and practice task force skills. Putting the principles of this book to work will help companies realize the best results from their task forces.
