Lenses: Looking at group processes through the Individual and the Group

My reading and research has suggested these two lenses (Individual and the group as a whole), and I am planning to get key information needed from my readings of Gardner's works on multiple intelligences, as well as French and Bell's work in OD to focus on the individual as a power in the group dynamic. Also, a key theme is diversity, and I have a book that covers diversity in organizations. Then, broadening to the group, I will focus on group processes, gleaning information from the French and Bell text, as well as Schwarz's Skilled Facilitator Manual. I may need to define terms, or otherwise ground what I am looking at in psychology and social science.

I would also like to get back to my original questions, to see where I am at with them. Also, needing to post to the blog for updates on readings, as well as thoughts about the last Community of Practice meeting on October 26th.
