The Training and Performance Sourcebook and The Team and Organization
Development Sourcebook, edited by Mel Silberman, are annual collections of
reproducible materials for trainers, consultants, team facilitators and
managers. The first sourcebooks appeared in 1996 and the 1998 volumes
have recently been published. By now, the sourcebooks have a substantial
readership, having acquired buyers from extensive direct
mail/telemarketing and by distribution in bookstores throughout the
country. Several leaders in the human resource development field have
been among the contributors, such as Bob Pike, Chip Bell, Diane Gayeski,
Thiagi, Bill Rothwell, Jack Phillips, Scott Parry, Roger Kaufman, and
Dianna Booher.
