Book Description

0787938882 978-0787938888 September 4, 1998
Today's organizations are using teams to carry out tasks and solve problems. To get the job done, your managers and team leaders need to communicate and cooperate. Facilitation is the skill that saves the day! This workshop shows your employees how to become effective facilitators, and great facilitators promote employee commitment and satisfaction, and augment team performance and problem solving.

The Instructor's Guide includes everything you need to conduct a facilitation workshop: simulations, discussion resources, and more. The flexible workshop is organized around practical problems, so participants never lose sight of the job.

The Handbook reinforces key workshop concepts, details key facilitation methods, offers step-by-step instructions for facilitating meetings, and much more. Numerous checklists and forms enable quick implementation.

Remember, the Handbook is an essential tool even for professionals who haven't participated in a Facilitator Excellence workshop. This stand-alone facilitation reference is a gold mine of tips and tools.

The Profile assesses facilitators' abilities and suggests areas for improvement. Incorporated into the Facilitator Excellence workshop, this quick assessment is also an effective follow-up tool that ensures ongoing facilitator development.This package helps professionals to:
* Lead meetings effectively
* Organize team activities
* Obtain project support
* Find solutions to problems
* Establish harmony among coworkers
* Deal with customers and clients
* Set goals and make decisions
* Earn support for initiatives . . . and much more!


You'll need one copy of the Instructor's Guide for the trainer, skilled facilitator, or manager who will conduct the workshop. Each participant will need one copy of the Handbook and the Profile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful - Well Organized and Thoughtful, June 6, 2000

This review is from: Facilitator Excellence, Handbook: Helping People Work Creatively and Productively Together (Paperback)
There are a lot of books about facilitation skills and techniques. This is one of the best because it is well organized and thoughtful in its presentation. It is very theoretical and does help an exerienced facilitator zero in on areas to improve, but is also useful to the beginner by providing a good framework to work from. The key to success (like so many things) is practice. This is a good guide to get you started on the right foot and to use as a reference over time as your facilitation skills develop.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Facilitator Excellence Handbook, March 1, 2000
This review is from: Facilitator Excellence, Handbook: Helping People Work Creatively and Productively Together (Paperback)
I found thhis book helpful to me as a consultant who is moving in to doing more facilitation. The book contains many specific and practical tools for working with groups while also giving attention to the "softer" side of group dynamics.
