An in-depth program to assist groups of any size: aligning interests, fostering collaboration, achieving common goals. The book describes the basic principles of organizing groups, based on which highly effective groups are formed. This process of group formation is called a prosocial process. This process helps group members develop a sense of shared interests and define the purpose of the group. It enhances cooperation within the group, helping its members balance personal interests with collective interests. The basic principles of group organization and behavior change techniques provided by the prosocial process help coordinate between groups, allowing for the creation of more effective systems of collaboration at regional, national, and global levels.
An innovative approach to organizing effective and cooperation-oriented groups, regardless of their field of activity. Whether you are a company owner, a school administrator, a volunteer in your city, or a social activist, you surely understand the immense potential that groups have in bringing about significant changes in our world. But how exactly are effective and productive groups formed, and how is their sustainability ensured?
Drawing on the work of Nobel laureate economist Elinor Ostrom and utilizing advancements in contextual-behavioral science and evolutionary science, the authors of this innovative book have essentially compiled a step-by-step guide to forming groups characterized by qualities such as harmonious relationships among members, low turnover, and longevity, all of which are key to sustained success.
