As an example, building on your observation that many people do not feel respected by their bosses, how's this:<br /><br />You facilitate a meeting so your subordinates will feel involved and consulted because you want them to buy into the decision you have already made.Sandy Schumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373637046730424126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133094372127145968.post-36400931665601561922015-05-24T09:52:24.696-04:002015-05-24T09:52:24.696-04:00Excellent!

I am trying to work up an online supervisor facilitation "course" using my Square Wheels theme (now in LEGO!) with the goal of allowing a person to go through the simple course and being prepared to have a meeting with their people. I would suggest that a few of these would apply directly to the supervisor who asks for involvement and engagement of their people in rolling things forward more better faster. <br /><br />I read these as "Professional Facilitator" frameworks.<br /><br />And I wonder what items would apply to a manager or supervisor simply trying to facilitate a group discussion...<br /><br />In a related way, I wonder what a list of things that roadblock organizational facilitation would look like. Seems like an awful lot of managers feel that involving people and facilitating discussions simply cannot be accomplished in their workplaces. 50% of people do not feel that their boss respects them, as one supporting datapoint.<br /><br />Your thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
