I've started researching aspects of the core questions of my project, corralling some good books together from the library I work at. Here's what I'm reading:
The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. (Peter M. Senge). Looks at teamwork and organizational effectiveness from a "systems thinking" perspective. A highly cited work.
Frames of Mind: the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. (Howard Gardner) Another highly cited work I've always wanted to read.
Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century. (Howard Gardner) Updating his earlier work with new research and an several added intelligences.
This week I will be speaking with Keith Russell, a librarian colleague from Kansas who also works part time in his human resource office's Organizational Effectiveness unit (I think it's called). He's also a versed in group drumming as an staff development tool, so it will be good to ask him some questions and get his opinion on team-building.
