Summary: Excellent Resource for Meeting Facilitation
Review: This should book should be read by every supervisor, manager, superintendent, principal and CEO involved with making decisions. It is a simple, yet thorough process of decision making. Pages of structuring devices are provided to help individuals and groups walk through the decision making process. The structuring devices offer non-confrontational, effective methods of examining the mind set of the group, defining the problem, identifying solution criteria, developing solution possibilities, and selecting, then implementing, a solution. Highly recommend!
