 The Facilitator's Fieldbook: Step-by-Step Procedures * Checklists and Guidelines * Samples and Templates (Paperback)
by Tom Justice, David Jamieson, David W., Ph.D. Jamieson "
American Management Association; 1 edition (March 1, 1999);ISBN: 0814470386
Book Description: What is facilitation? Ironically, it's a difficult word that means "to make easy." When applied to businesses and organizations, facilitation means helping people work together in groups and teams to achieve their goals.
But wait, you're probably thinking there's nothing easy about that--and until now you've been right. Most existing texts on facilitation (and there are lots of them) are theoretical, have too many complicated models, and lead to unnecessary confusion. The Facilitator's Fieldbook was written to break through the theory, clear up the confusion--and make facilitation itself easy.
Comprehensive in scope, yet extremely practical and to the point, The Fieldbook is perfect for both novice and experienced facilitators. Those new to the art of facilitation will find clear guidance on basic how-to information. More experienced facilitators will discover advanced methods for use in more challenging facilitation situations and simple models for facilitating both large and small groups.
Best of all, The Facilitator's Fieldbook contains a wealth of resources such as checklists, samples, templates, guidelines, and step-by-step procedures. It will enable you to perform all the skills of facilitation, including: * establishing ground rules for groups * planing meetings and agendas * building the group database * brainstorming * decision making * conflict resolution, and more.

 The Skilled Facilitator
by Roger Schwarz; Jossey-Bass; New Rev edition (June 15, 2002);ISBN: 0787947237
Midwest Book Review: In The Skilled Facilitator: Practical Wisdom For Developing Effective Groups, Roger Schwarz draws on his own extensive facilitation experience and insight to bring together theory and practice, creating a comprehensive reference for consultants, peer facilitators, mangers, leaders -- anyone whose role is to guide groups toward realization their creative and problem-solving potential. The Skilled Facilitator provides essential materials including simple but effective ground rules for governing group interaction; what to say to a group (and when to say it) to keep it on track and moving toward its goal, proven techniques for starting meetings on the right (and ending them positively and decisively), practical methods for handling emotions (particularly negative emotions) when they arise in a group context, and a diagnostic approach for helping both facilitators and group members identify and solve problems that can undermine the group process. The Skilled Facilitator provides a clearly defined set of basic principles to help facilitators develop sound, value-based responses to a wide range of unpredictable situations. It also includes advice on how to work with outside consultants and facilitate within one's own organizations, along with a groundbreaking section on facilitative leadership. The Skilled Facilitator is an excellent addition to any business or community library shelf.

0814403980
The author, Glenn Kiser (Kiser1 @ mindspring.com) , June 4, 1998
This book is designed to help you make a REAL difference. Effective
facilitation is much more than meeting agendas and flipcharts.
Helping individuals, groups and organizations get
"unstuck" requires both fundamental skills and a
systematic process. MF takes the mystery out of facilitation and
provides an approach that gives you a real chance to achieve
dramatic results. (You also get to see what happens when it doesn't
turn out exactly as I had planned it!) Hope it helps you become a
catalyst for lasting change!!
