The Facilitator's Fieldbook (3rd Edition)

Widely regarded as a go-to reference for both new and experienced facilitators — covering face-to-face and virtual group processes.

An invaluable guide that provides you with the comprehensive tools and knowledge you need to help your teams–and, ultimately, your organization–succeed. The completely revised third edition of this longtime go-to resource for novice and experienced facilitators provides new team-building exercises as well as updated information on virtual meetings, mediation, strategic planning, and much more. Loaded with procedures, checklists, guidelines, samples, and templates, The Facilitator’s Fieldbook covers all the key areas of successful team management, including establishing ground rules, planning meetings and agendas, brainstorming, resolving conflict, making decisions, and helping groups optimize their time. You’ll also gain tips on maintaining the tone and flow of meetings, and will learn to determine when to delegate projects to individuals rather than assembling a group.

“…provides quick and easy access to the frameworks, task breakdowns, and deliverables for defining what needs to be done… tremendous time and frustration saver for anyone facilitating meetings.” — PMWorld Journal
