The Skilled Facilitator: A Comprehensive Resource for Consultants, Facilitators, Managers, Trainers and Coaches by Roger Schwarz

"Everyone wants to be a facilitator: consultants, managers, even teachers. What is desperately needed is a common, practical reference for understanding facilitation in diverse professional settings. No one has done a better job than Roger Schwarz of synthesizing the major theoretical underpinnings and translating them into clear, usable guidelines for practitioners."

Peter M. Senge, author, The Fifth Discipline

Since its publication in 1994, readers have regarded The Skilled Facilitator as a critical resource for anyone interested in helping groups and organizations function more effectively.
