Guiding Groups to Productive Solutions by John Glaser

Over the last 10 years I have watched several leaders revive dead departments in organizations, reactivate dormant programs, reshape entire ineffective systems, and completely create establishments from the ground up. This process of starting and stopping or birthing and ending, has led me to believe there is no one way to lead. Many leaders have found multiple strategies to deliver results; however, some of these practices have been found to be unhealthy to the teams that follow them. The book, Leading Through Collaboration: Guiding Groups to Productive Solutions, by John Glaser, has much to say about the art of leadership and is broken into two parts. The first part describes four mindsets of effective problem solvers and the second part describes four practical strategies effective leaders uses to get collaboration with their teams.
