Title overview

Working in Groups: Communication Principles and Strategies provides practical guidance on how to work effectively in groups.

Offering specific recommendations and real-world examples, the authors help you learn how to become a valuable, ethical group member.

The 8th Edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest in the field. In addition to the fresh contributions of Dr. Kay Yoon, the text offers updated data, contemporary examples and up-to-date theory.
