Synopsis:

A book for anyone and everyone who works in and with groups, managers, committee chairs, team leaders, nonprofit directors, consultants, mediators, facilitators, teachers, and trainers. This book presents an original approach to group problem solving and conflict transformation. It shows how the development and maintenance of something more productive and inspiring than typical ground rules can go a long way toward creating authentic community and sustainable agreements in group settings. The authors draw from their facilitation, mediation, and training experiences in helping groups move towards a higher ground in the areas of education reform, environmental issues, public health, family tensions, church denomination policy, and other areas. Includes an index.
