Teams for a New Generation:
A Facilitator's Field Guide
In today’s world, the need for groups to consistently tap into the collective intelligence present in their team is more and more important. This requires teams to move beyond cooperation and goodwill and be able to challenge individual and collective assumptions to see new alternatives. This book provides a simple model to understand how teams move past the mediocrity of consensus to innovative thinking that comes with Collective Learning. The purpose is to help facilitators move experiential learning beyond the traditional notion of teambuilding which has become a catchall phrase for individuals just getting more comfortable with one another. This book uses theory, tools and activities to develop attitudes and skills for individuals to continually learn - which will fundamentally change the way their team functions.

Teams for a New Generation
What people are saying about this book:

“A full course meal for facilitation that has a lasting effect; a unique combination of why (the theory), what (tools) and now what (the learnings and behavior changes needed) for improved processing of experiential team based learning—my congratulations to the chefs.”  
Matt M. Starcevich, Ph.D.
CEO, Center for Coaching & Mentoring, Inc.

“Facilitating teams is an awesome responsibility. This book has a number of well thought reminders and new lessons I now incorporate into my training sessions. I especially like the hands-on instruction for making the theory come to life. It is refreshing to know the “why” behind the “what” and then be able to put it into action with the powerful experiential activities.”
Sam Sikes

“Robinson and Rose have put together a very useful read for facilitators and leaders who want to challenge themselves to get better at what they do and encourage their groups to do the same. The valuable tools and activities in Teams takes us from thinking to doing - helpful wisdom for a New Generation.”
Chris Cavert, M.S.
Author, Trainer, Facilitator

“Beyond ‘quick-fixes’ and ‘how-to guides’ Greg and Mark continue to plumb the depths of what facilitating real change in ourselves and others might mean. To this end, their new book can be viewed as a valuable resource for the seasoned facilitator as well as those new to the field. I think this book might best be described as … a gift.”
Anthony Curtis
Founder, Adventureworks, Inc.

“One of the best things about this book is the fact that it directly addresses typical problems encountered in facilitating team experiential learning programs and provides practical and theoretically sound approaches for handling those situations. It seems that each page held a useful and often profound nugget of wisdom. It’s a really good book!”

“The assessment and tools section make Teams for a New Generation a must-have book for facilitators. The learning model provides a clear picture of a not so clear process.  Both new and experienced facilitators will find great value in this book.”

“This book goes right to the heart of facilitation. Even if you’re not a professional, the insights discussed will lay out a foundation on which to build a solid understanding of people, behavior, and team dynamics. I wish I had this book 20 years ago.”

“I am not a professional team facilitator nor a trainer but was intrigued as an educator. This book is fully grounded in theory with deep insight and discussion. The writing is accessible, clear, well-written and lends true insight into team dynamics, leadership, and team facilitation.”

“Online educators and students will be especially excited to discover Teams for a New Generation is just as valuable for “teams” in online classroom platforms as it is for more conventional teams. I have the Collective Learning Dynamic model posted above my computer!”
