Introduction

Dynamics of Group Communication offers a practical introduction to the theory and practice of group communication, with an emphasis on real world applications to develop an awareness, understanding, and skills to effectively participate as a productive group member. Through a clear and concise approach to group decision-making and dynamics in teams and leadership, students are presented with the tools needed to create plans, find solutions to problems, produce goods or deliver services, and evaluate their performance through self and peer assessments.

This book was primarily compiled from resources archived by authors of previous OER online publications around group communication.  I revised and added to these resources as I saw fit in order to adapt this book for use in our curriculum.
