Summary

Why are some teams described in such exceptional terms, while most  are not? Bellman and Ryan argue that people instinctively sense  when a group experience is something special, something different  from the ordinary, something that surpasses their expectations in a  positive, remarkable, and hard-to-describe way. These extraordinary  groups achieve outstanding results and their members--individually  or collectively--experience a profound shift in how they see their  world. They are transformed.   However large or small, visible or intangible, such  transformative shifts happen because the group experience satisfies  core needs that members intuitively bring to any group they join.  Bellman and Ryan's study suggests there are six needs, forming  three pairs related to one's self, the group, and the world in  which the group exists. These six elements combine in what the  authors describe as the Group Needs model:    Acceptance of self while moving toward one's  Potential  A Bond with others that grows while pursuing a common  Purpose  Understanding the Reality of the world while  collectively making an Impact    Whether at work, at home, or in the community, when a group  experience meets two or more of these needs, it will stand out for  the members of the team. Based on extensive research and filled  with examples from amazing groups, Extraordinary Groups  presents the Group Needs Model to help anyone nurture extraordinary  experiences in their groups and achieve outstanding results. This  book is a timely resource for anyone who leads groups including HR  and OD professionals, managers, executives, nonprofit managers and  directors, virtual teams leaders, and trainers.
