Summary: It gave me EVERYTHING I needed to facilitate!
Review: This book held my hand, walked me through what I needed...I KNEW I had to somehow "get" my team to work together, but HOW? Weaver and Farrell gave me a model as well as I loved the "quick fix" section, which I went to right away. There they knew just what are the common areas that keep people from being effective on a team and most importantly what in the world to do about them

Read this book. It is the best on facilitation that I have seen.

Summary: Excellent practical guide to the art of facilitating
Review: This book is an excellent practical guide for assisting managers in accomplishing work through their people. As the manager's role becomes more of a facilitative one, this book can help individuals learn useful skills they can pull off the pages and put immediately into practice. The abundant tables and figures clearly illustrate the principles. The Quick Fix guide at the end of the book offers pragmatic solutions to common problems at work. I recommend this book to all my clients!! Dennis S. Reina, Ph.D. Principal, Chagnon & Reina Associates, Inc. Organizational Development Consultants [e-mail]
