Some good points about how great inventions are the result of incremental steps by many people instead of just one person in a moment of clarity. Found the book went into too much detail when explaining studies. (  ) GShuk | Nov 1, 2009 |  It may be a bit counterintuitive to include this book as a great leadership book for the focus is not on leadership per se. The focus here is on the forces and factors that produce great results as a group and for this, it is crucial reading for leaders who wants to draw out the best in others. Mining the gold of the group is the quintessential art of leadership and this book offers inspiration and guidance along the way. KeithMerron | Aug 10, 2009 | There are two things to think about when reading this book: how does a school’s faculty capitalize on group genius to transform mediocre education into world-class learning? And, how to we help children and teens learn to work in groups so that they learn how to stand on one another’s shoulders to solve the problems they are asked to solve? Yes, this author takes us into the world of music, business and innovation, but we can use the seven principles of effective and innovative groups to design learning experiences, particularly with web 2.0 tools to inroduce learners to the power of creative collaboration.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0465071937, Paperback)Creativity has long been thought to be an individual gift, best pursued alone; schools, organizations, and whole industries are built on this idea. But what if the most common beliefs about how creativity works are wrong? Group Genius tears down some of the most popular myths about creativity, revealing that creativity is always collaborative-even when you’re alone. Sharing the results of his own acclaimed research on jazz groups, theater ensembles, and conversation analysis, Keith Sawyer shows us how to be more creative in collaborative group settings, how to change organizational dynamics for the better, and how to tap into our own reserves of creativity.
