&“An eye-opening guide to making teams more than the sum of their individual parts. Essential reading for creators, builders, and leaders.&” —Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive and The Power of Regret The definitive guide to the surprising science of group dynamics, and the ultimate resource for building high-performing teams, communities, and organizationsWhy are groups so hard? From boring work meetings to dysfunctional families to warring nations, group dynamics shape every aspect of our lives. How can we avoid the common pitfalls of living and working together and get the most from our groups? The solution isn&’t to change individuals—it&’s to understand the world from a collective perspective.In The Collective Edge, Colin Fisher, one of the world&’s foremost experts on group dynamics, distills decades of research into practical strategies to help groups function at their highest levels. Through case studies from billion-dollar companies, boutique design firms, great basketball teams, and Star Trek villains, Fisher reveals how to compete without dysfunctional conflict within groups, why conformity pressure can sometimes be positive, and why effective group leadership often comes down to structure and organization instead of motivational speeches.The secret to getting the most from your groups is knowing how to work with the invisible forces of group dynamics instead of being mindlessly pushed around by them. Whether you&’re a leader, team member, or simply interested in better understanding how groups work, The Collective Edge provides essential wisdom that will help your groups unlock their true potential.
