Facilitation Skills
Writer Timothy Gallwey was once conducting a management seminar.
"What's the most important word in the dictionary of management?" he asked.
Someone called out: "Leadership?"
"No".
Someone else suggested: "Money?"
"No".
Another offered: "Resources?"
"No".A voice pleaded: "Give us a clue."
"OK," Timothy replied. "It's just three letters. And it's the most important thing you can do for those who work for you."
Everyone looked puzzled.
Finally, putting them out of their misery, Timothy replied: "It's "Let".
Letting people work and letting them work things out for themselves is one of the most powerful things you can do for others. It's the concept that's at the heart of Facilitation Skills and the reason why these skills are so valuable in the modern workplace.
