| Overview: In many traditional experiences of being and working in groups - the family, the school classroom, the work team - we have become used to hierarchical models of authority. So we have become used to fitting in, adjusting to others, letting the experts decide, doing what we're told. As a result, many of us live lives of quiet desperation: alienated, frustrated, defensive, powerless. The process of facilitation aims to restore, unleash and release that lost power and put it back where it belongs: with people. |
