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. New for this edition: * 60 pages of brand new skills and tools * Many new case
examples * Major expansion and reorganization of the advanced sections of the book. * New
chapter: Teaching A Group About Group Dynamics * Doubled in size: Classic Facilitator
Challenges. * Substantially improved: Designing Realistic Agendas - now three chapters with
wise insightful answers to the most vexing questions about meeting design.
