Group readiness for Auftragstaktik
by chet ~ May 14th, 2008. Filed under: Boyd's Theories, Business Strategy, Latest News.Several of my recent posts have mentioned the SPGR (Systematizing the Person-Group Relationship) methodology for measuring how well groups will do utilizing mission-type leadership (Auftragstaktik).
The methodology’s originator has published an academic paper on the subject. For those with access to such journals, the reference is:
Sjøvold, E., Systematizing Person-Group relations (SPGR): A Field Theory of Social Interaction Small Group Research vol 38 (5) October 2007.
For those who read Norwegian, there is also a book out on the subject:
Sjøvold, E. (2006). Teamet: Utvikling, effektivitet og endring i grupper. Oslo, NO: Universitetsforlaget.
More publications are in the mill.

Thanks for the links. I managed to get my hands on the Small Group Research article. As the other publications become (at least somewhat) publicly available don’t hesitate to let us know about them.
