The Role of the Facilitator in Management
Abstract
This article reviews the role of the facilitator, commencing with the work of Kurt Lewin. It then goes on to describe a project on which a facilitator was engaged in a large British company. Facilitation in this case is concerned with communications and “clearing the air”, as well as operating mainly on a one‐to‐one basis. It concludes that before people can be helped to help themselves, communications must be unblocked and misconceptions cleared away. The article also discusses some of the issues in relationship to facilitation.
