ABC-CLIO Facilitating Training Groups Guide to Leadership and Verbal Intervention Skills A Guide to Leadership and Verbal Intervention Skills
Book SynopsisMost trainers rely on trial and error as the only means of improving facilitation skills. This definitive text furnishes a comprehensive framework for determining the best interventions to use in a given group situation. The trainer is presented with strategies for assisting the individual to establish an attainable goal, develop a strategy for change, and implement and evaluate that strategy during and following the life of the group. Both personal and professional development groups are addressed in the model. Most current literature describes how to design management training and human relations group. This text goes a step further by providing a framework for intervening on a moment-by-moment basis to ensure group goal achievement.Facilitating Training Groups provides clear descriptions of three primary models--T-groups, personal growth groups, and skills training groups. Their goals, theoretical underpinnings, and required leadership style are exploredTable of ContentsIntroduction How to Choose a Training Framework: What Model to Use When Identifying and Managing Group Processes T-Groups Personal Growth Groups Skills Training Groups Types of Interventions Deciding When and How to Intervene Practicing Interventions Bibliography Index
