Longitudinal Applications Of Stepladder Technique For Enhancing Group Performance, Conner Lutterman

Here, we examined a more realistic application of the stepladder technique to a longitudinal project team engaged in a design/build/ test engineering program. Application of stepladder technique beyond a laboratory/one-time setting is a unique addition to the team performance research.
