Description
"For anyone uncertain in social situations, Dr. Chris Beverly is the answer. His ability to view social interactions as a strategic game provides a great guide to help the rest of us navigate. The book is not "psychobabble", but rather a straight-forward approach to negotiating the difficulties that can arise in group dynamics."
Kristen M. Wolfe, MBA
Are you a social wolf or kangaroo? Social Chess takes an in-depth look at group interactions that occur in businesses, families, and friendships, and, using clever animal classifications, helps you discover who you really are by examining how you naturally deal with conflict.
Dr. Christopher Beverly, a social scientist and psychology professor, spent three years reflecting on his life experiences both in group settings and relationships. This autobiographical study reviews:
(1) The fact that relationships are best understood in a group context.
(2) The five pieces on the "group chessboard".
(3) The seven laws of group dynamics.
This revolutionary behavioral guide will enrich your knowledge of social cultures, whether you want to better understand relationships in general or want to adapt more effectively to future social situations.
"Chris Beverly's extraordinary gift for reading people and situations is reflected in this book. He expresses the complex dynamics of relationships and groups in a common sense format".
Dr. Debbie Dodd, Author and Organization Consultant
