Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making

Unleash the transformative power of face to face
groups
The third edition of this ground-breaking book continues to
advance its mission to support groups to do their best thinking. It
demonstrates that meetings can be much more than merely an occasion
for solving a problem or creating a plan. Every well-facilitated
meeting is also an opportunity to stretch and develop the
perspectives of the individual members, thereby building the
strength and capacity of the group as a whole.
This fully updated edition of The Facilitator's Guide to
Participatory Decision-Making guides readers through the struggle
and the satisfaction of putting participatory values into practice,
helping them to fulfill the promise of effective group
decision-making. With previous editions already embraced by
business and community leaders and consulting professionals around
the world, this new book is even more insightful and easy to
use.
