  • The authors provide numerous compelling verbal examples that model effective leadership skills, which readers can use to build up their repertoire.

  • The book functions as a step-by-step guide, from basic to advanced skills, as a means to help group leaders acclimate the group through the group process.

  • Leadership training materials are arranged in such a way that skills and knowledge in the earlier chapters are building blocks for later chapters.

  • The authors break down complex group processes into understandable sub-processes, so that new leaders can increase their grasp of each skill.

  • Actual examples of leaders' and members' personal reflections illustrate the emotional and cognitive processes that are involved in leading and participating in a group.

  • In addition to skill development, the authors discuss aspects of personal and ethical development.
