Masterful Facilitation

Facilitators must be masters at helping groups and organizations reach their goals. Whether it’s helping an executive team complete a strategic plan, guiding a group through a team-building exercise, or assisting individuals to resolve conflicts, facilitation is a skill that is becoming more and more important.

Using three key concepts in this book, managers and anyone interested in the fine “art” of facilitation will be able to help a group articulate their purpose and determine their true desired results. Then they will be able to choose the level of intervention which will be the most powerful and efficient for that particular group, ultimately becoming “master” facilitators adept at:
— achieving maximum results.
— removing barriers to performance and leaving people and organizations more knowledgeable and skilled than before.
— engineering change efforts that are effective and empowering.
