The McGraw-Hill Training and Performance Sourcebook and The McGraw-Hill
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
1997 volumes have recently been published. By now, the sourcebooks have a
substantial readership, having acquired buyers from extensive direct

Several leaders in the human resource development field have been among the
contributors, such as Chip Bell, Diane Gayeski, Thiagi, Bill Rothwell, Jack
Phillips, George Piskurich, and Michael O'Brien.

helpful handout, or short practical article that you would be willing to
share with others?
