Handbook group dynamics An introduction Group dynamics, which is the study of human behaviour in small groups, serves as a link between the two fi elds of psychology and sociology. The book, Group Dynamics: an introduction, provides the reader with a basic knowledge of the themes that pertain to this field and which have been developed over the past eighty years. There are four main themes that group dynamics touches upon: group development, leadership, the functioning of groups and group context. Each group represents a unique and particular blend of these four ingredients. It is in a certain stage of its development or in a transitional phase, it is subject to a given form of leadership, it communicates in a certain way and on a certain level, and it functions within a specific context. This book focuses on each of these four ingredients extensively. Several other themes are also discussed such as systems & comJAN REMMERSWAAL

The courage factor Daring to choose and persevere in the Dutch business world Failing management, questionable decisions, a lack of ethics: we read and hear about these problems all the time. Commissions investigate what went wrong. Lessons wind up in reports and are translated into tighter regulations. What is going well? What can be learned? This book uses a bold, illustrative and elegant approach to address these issues through the metaphor of the Round Table. How do you find courage? From finding courage and forming an opinion to failing and persevering, the authors give you the tools to stay on course amidst a sea of interests and influences, dreams and obstacles. What this ability looks like, what it requires and how it can be developed are all revealed in a transparent, original and enlightening way. The book provides tips for leaders, administrators, employees and managers in all kinds of organisations.

Stakeholder management How dialogue makes organisations smarter, faster and more successful The increase in transparency has made the world of government, non-profit organisations and businesses a lot more exciting. Information has become more widely accessible due to social media. Stakeholders are more outspoken than ever. Trust is no longer a given in the network society; nowadays you win together, not on your own. To stay connected to their environment, increasingly more organisations are choosing to engage in social dialogue. But this is easier said than done. In practice, various issues are at play, such as: • Who are our internal and external stakeholders? • How do we get people to go along with the change? • What can the Communications Department do to increase its impact? • What opportunities are there for directors and supervisory boards? • How do stakeholder surveys shed light upon the interests?

The Dodo effect On behavioural changes in organisations From the Abilene Paradox to the Dodo effect and from the Acapulco syndrome to Parkinson’s Laws, this book presents an eclectic collection of human behaviour in all of its facets – often familiar, sometimes painful, occasionally hilarious, but fortunately also provided with solutions based on daily practice. Human behaviour in organisations is a popular object of research among psychologists, sociologists and behavioural economists. This behaviour is both conscious and unconscious. Managers and employees can exhibit irrational, illogical and implicit behaviour that damages not only their own interests, but those of the organisation as well. The Dodo effect describes such behaviour that, without us even suspecting it, leads to strange situations, quarrelling or

Clever in complicated situations Achieving amazing results with tact and diplomacy Diplomacy is better than war, tact is better than a lack of decorum. It is not always advisable to just blurt something out, whether or not you are right. Even if you know intuitively that you are right beyond a shadow of a doubt, convincing the other person that you are right is an entirely different matter. And is it actually about being right, after all? Usually, it’s about realising your goals. By employing tact and diplomatic techniques, you achieve more and the results will generally last longer. This book provides the reader with the necessary insight and tools for diplomatic and tactful communication. It is a needto-know book for everyone who wants to achieve success in meetings and discussions in a subtle way.
