Original book introduction: This book describes a new approach: transformative facilitation. It doesn't choose either the bossy vertical or the collegial horizontal approach: it cycles back and forth between them. Rather than forcing or cajoling, the facilitator removes the obstacles that stand in the way of people contributing and connecting equitably. It enables people to bring their whole selves to the process.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Transformative facilitation is a more effective way of getting groups to work together to solve problems than forcing them to do so. It involves collaborating with diverse others to create change, rather than commanding them to do so.

#2

Change must be desired by the people you’re trying to help. If they don’t see a problem, a challenge, or a need for change, your efforts will be for naught.

#3

To make a change, people must be willing to work with one another. People must believe they can achieve their goals without forcing others to comply with their way of doing things. If they believe they can achieve their goals without working with others, then facilitation is not necessary or effective.

#4

Facilitation is the process of helping two or more people work together towards a common goal.
