F OREWORD

T here are groups, and there are Great Groups. To turn the first into the second must be every leaders dream. This book provides the clues, provokes some questions, and leaves some mystery remaining.

Great Groups hope to make a dent in the universe, as Steve Jobs told the team that created the Macintosh computer. They flare like a rocket for a while, then vanish, leaving behind their creation, be it the first atom bomb, a new kind of college, an amazing computer, or a family of cartoon characters to delight the world. Can they ever repeat the trick, one wonders, or are they like butterflies given one brief but beautiful life? And is there life after the group for its members, or must they settle for a form of immortality, one given them by their creation?

Warren Benniss great gift is the ability to find meaning and messages where the rest of us see only happenings, or yesterdays news. In this book, he and Patricia Ward Biederman make the past come alive again before our eyes, creating the I wish I were there feeling, but go on to draw lessons for life and work that apply to all of us, particularly to those who want to make anything of significance happen in their bit of the world.
