Description

This approach to working in groups uses insights from Wilfred Bion to help individuals and groups cooperate more effectively. At its core, it's about understanding the purpose or purposes that bring people together.

Every group has a reason for meeting, whether formal or informal, and this book shows how individual members can use attention - both focused and broad - to better understand their purpose and stay on track. By developing this skill of attention, group members can maintain a clear sense of direction and avoid distractions that can derail their efforts.

The authors have drawn on their 25 years of experience using Bion's insights in various contexts, from formal settings to personal relationships, to develop this approach. The result is a practical guide for anyone looking to improve their group work or collaboration skills.
