DescriptionHelp them do things for themselves by supporting their attempts to succeed. Things you can do to facilitate them include:
ExampleYes, I can see you want to build there. Have you checked water availability? I know someone who can help with that. Now I'm facilitating this meeting, which means I own the process but not the content. Here's the agenda and Mike, can you present you report first. If you borrow my toolkit you'll probably find it easier. DiscussionFacilitation can be a full-time job and, done, well, helps to make people and organizations more effective and efficient. Business facilitators mostly run meetings and workshops, but can also act as coaches, mediators and other supporting roles. A reason facilitation can help is that many people are not that well organized and having someone help can be very valuable. Facilitators are not personal assistants as they largely help the person do things for themself rather than be an extra pair of hands, although sometimes this role may be taken on for a while. Facilitation can be simple help or it can build their skills, a choice known as 'feeding them to teaching them to fish.' Which approach you use depends on your ability to do either, the time you have available (teaching often takes longer) and the style of motivation you seek. If you just help without teaching, you will keep them dependent with the opportunity to create more obligation to you in the future. If you teach them, then they may continue to be grateful and afford you the superior status of expert and teacher. See also |
