Small Group Facilitation: Improving Process and Performance in Groups and Teams

~ Acknowledgments ~

I acknowledge and appreciate the contributions, talents, and patience of three colleagues who have influenced my thinking on small groups: the late Alvin Goldberg from the University of Denver; Carl Larson, also from the University of Denver; and Dennis Gouran from Pennsylvania State University. Thank you.

Several of my research studies cited in this book, in the field of facilitation and in the wider field of groups, were collaborative. I want to thank my coauthors: Barbara Gray, Sungmi Jin, William Rothwell, Louise Sandmeyer, and Ji Hoon Song. Additional thanks go to Jin Yong Kim and Jin Gu Lee for their help in assembling the figures for this book.

In a more general but equally heartfelt way, I thank the numerous students ...
