Facilitator's Guide to Participatory Decision-Making21 reviews
Sam Kaner, Lenny Lind, ...

New Society Publishers, 1996

A must for all Agile Software Development team leaders!
In mentoring Project Managers, Agile Coaches, and Scrum Masters about the need to be facilitative, objective, and team-oriented, I have always recommended this book as a MUST READ. In fact, this book changed my work in the technical world of software development. Through Sam Kaner's very clear view of what good facilitators do to help teams move through the "Groan Zone", I found great depth in ... 		  
  







  
  
Facilitating with Ease!, with CD: Core Skills for Facilitators, Team Leaders and Members, Managers, ...5 reviews
Ingrid Bens

Jossey-Bass, 2005

From one facilitator to another...
As a failitator of a process using storyboards, I am always looking for new twists on facilitation in general. As a compact, to the point resource on facilitation and basic meeting management, I think Ingrid's is at the top of the list. While, like any such work, you truly gain the value when you attend a workshop, this book is worth the price in things anyone can adapt and use in any ... 		  
  







  
  
Mentoring the NBPTS Candidate: A Facilitator's Guide: A Mentors Handbook for Successfully Coaching the NBPTS ...5 reviews
Jerry L. Parks

Weekly Reader Teacher's Press, 2006

"Kudos on a work long needed!"
Simply put, there are very few pickings when it comes to help for NBPTS mentors. Perhaps because of the need for such, Dr. Parks wrote this book. I don't know, but until something better comes along--and this one's pretty darn good--this book will be the standard. Let's face it, books on mentoring are not too interesting, but good ones should at least be helpful. As a mentor, I appreciate the ...

Making Peace with Your Past, Facilitator Guide7 reviews
Tom Sledge

Lifeway Christian Resources, 1991

Making Peace with Your Past
I have had the privilege of participating in a support group where this book was used, and now have facilitated three other groups. I plan to continue to facilitate these groups using Tim Sledge's Making Peace with Your Past, because I have found nothing on dysfuntional families so insightful and penetrating as this study. Tim Sledge has allowed God to make good of evil in his life, by ... 		  
  







  
  
Leading Groups to Solutions: A Practical Guide for Facilitators and Team Members4 reviews
Steven J. Stowell

CMOE, 2002

Time and Money Well Spent
This book is a great toolbox for anyone managing or leading groups or teams. It is not about getting up and presenting to a group. It is more about getting up and tapping into a group's creativity, ideas, and expertise and helps to solve problems, execute tasks, or implement solutions. Just because you're leading a group discussion doesn't mean you're automatically the designated leader. I ... 		  
  







  
  
Exercising Influence: A Discussion Guide for Team Leaders and Group Facilitators (Pfeiffer Essential ...7 reviews
B. Kim Barnes

Pfeiffer, 2006

A book of significant value
Exercising Influence is one of the most useul books I've read in years. I'm tempted to buy a dozen or so copies as gifts for some of the miserably untalanted negotiators I've encountered in my two decades of practicing law. The book taught me two things (at least) of significant personal value:(1)The skills necessary for selling one's point of view to others can be learned; (2) These same skills ... 		  
  







  
  
Together in Rhythm: A Facilitator's Guide to Drum Circle Music (Book & DVD)12 reviews
Kalani

Alfred Publishing Company, 2004

Great Intro to Drum Circles!
I have really enjoyed this book and video. Kalani explains various methods in the book, but it's very helpful to watch him execute them on the DVD. I even like the section of the DVD where he plays various instruments to demonstrate them. Being a very amateur percussionist, I had never thought of some of the techniques he demonstrates.

Introduction to Judaism: A Source Book (Facilitators's Guide)2 reviews

Urj Press, 1998

Intro to Judaism: A Source Book
This book is full of pearls of wisdom, as well as information that clears up lots of misunderstandings. My husband and I took the Intro class as well with Rabbi Einstein, and of the various texts we studied, this one was a great information source not only for the class, but after whenever questions arise around the various traditions/holidays. A true primer for those who want to tune-up their ...

Facilitator's (Trainer)2 reviews
John Townsend, Paul Donovan

Management Pocketbooks, 1999

A guide book for those Facilitators that expect more.....
I found this book through Amazon's recommendations from other books I had purchased through them. This book is an essential kit in our arsenal of Faciltator's tools. This book is small in size but big in content. It has problem solving, facilitation methods, "energizers" and interpersonal skills. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to content. This book has many great illustrations ...

Windows on Teaching Math: Cases of Middle and Secondary Classrooms : Facilitator's Guide2 reviews

Teachers College Press, 2003

A wonderful conversation starter among professionals
I used this book and its companion piece when leading secondary study groups. Though it is clearly of most benefit to the math area, other educators can profit from the issues raised. Each case is very detailed so participants get a full picture of the situation. Absolutely outstanding
