About this title

Review:

Reid and Hammersley have produced a clearly written, ecological guide to the nature of interpersonal communication in worksite groups..Communicating Successfully in Groups succeeds in familiarizing readers with the intrapsychic and social psychological factors that influence communication, and ultimately the social climates and productivity of their workplace groups. Readers will come away better able to understand local communication patterns, and with practical instructions for honing the skills they need to help such groups function effectively.
