The purpose of this book is to provide readers with an overview of basic group dynamics and techniques that are effective in Higher Education and Student Affairs settings. Student affairs professionals frequently engage in group work and team projects that require them to engage undergraduate students in ways that are unlike the classroom or less formal social setting. To help these individuals navigate their new roles, this book will provide an overview of basic group dynamics and leadership skills that facilitate productive group functioning. The book will be both a textbook that provides content regarding group dynamics, group theory, and group leadership, and a workbook/guidebook that provides information and scenarios that encourage readers to consider how the basic group principals can be applied in various areas within student affairs.
This book contains comprehensive and practical information pertaining to the wide array of groups found across college campuses. Though it may be a vital resource in the success of student affairs professionals with engaging college leadership and student affairs examples, it really serves as a go-to book for anyone seeking to understand and facilitate highly effective groups. -- Christine Borzumato-Gainey, Elon University
Group Development and Group Leadership in Student Affairs fills a much-needed gap that has been missing in the higher education leadership text books. Group and team leadership is a foundation for how we operate on our college and universities from student groups to the president’s cabinet. This text takes the reader from theory to practice while realizing that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach, having chapters devoted to specific student populations that may need an altered approach. Highly recommend adding it to your library. -- Steven McCullar, St. Cloud State University
