Synopsis

This book distinguishes itself in two major ways: (1) its emphasis on teamwork and leadership skills, and (2) its integration of ethics and multicultural diversity throughout all discussion of small group communication. This book meets current market needs because of the recent attention given teams in business and industry, the increasingly diverse nature of colleges and organizations, and growing awareness that colleges should be challenging students to examine their own leadership competence and understand the ethical and social implications of the groups in which they participate.

Its strengths include clear outlines, topic headings and subheadings, and internal previews of ideas.
