"Successful group work is critical in both academia and workplaces. Interpersonal Skills for Group Collaboration is a practical and useful guide for anyone responsible for ensuring positive outcomes from group collaborations!" -- Jon Kaupla, President of the Wisconsin School of Business Center for Professional & Executive Development, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Rice-Bailey and Chong have provided a thorough yet entirely accessible text on building effective collaboration teams. Although thoroughly researched, it doesn't clutter the students' reading experience by dragging them (usually kicking and screaming) through a pedantic explication of academic theories; instead, it distills those theories down into pragmatic, action-oriented strategies that they actually need." -- Tharon W. Howard, Professor and Usability Testing Facility Director, Clemson University "Interpersonal Skills for Group Collaboration is a practical guide for those who are seeking advice and strategies to collaborate effectively and mindfully on teams made up of people with diverse backgrounds. Rice-Bailey and Chong provide an accessible set of best practices and recommendations for teamwork informed by research and professional experiences." -- Jason Tham, Texas Tech University. Co-author (with Joe Moses), Collaborative Writing Playbook and Writing to Learn in Teams "Interpersonal Skills for Group Collaboration provides a clear roadmap for working productively with groups in multiple contexts.

The many suggestions and explanations meet the timely challenges we are experiencing whether connecting in-person, in classes, in workspaces, or across distance." -- Lee-Ann Kastman Breuch, Professor of Writing Studies, University of Minnesota.
