I am reading 'The Skilled Facilitator' - great in-depth book on facilitating group! Amazon reviews: http://tinyurl.com/5a83db ; by Roger Schwarz. This book will really help me to become a better facilitator of groups. This is an in-depth book; containing a complete Systems-thinking based approach to facilitation. Core statement: 'The facilitator's main task is to help the group increase effectiveness by improving its process and structure'. It complements some of the ideas of Manager-Tools in a great way! There are some similar ideas; e.g. on WWWTALA sessions; dealing with emotions; setting the Agenda of meeting etc. Of particular interest is the model for Interventions in groups. Highly recommended reading! More reading at the site of Roger Schwarz: http://www.schwarzassociates.com/facilitator/10/The-Skilled-Facilitator-Approach/ Has anybody read this book? Or other books on group facilitation? Please feel free to comment / contribute to this post!
