Synopsis

Both theoretically strong and practical, Managers As Facilitators offers readers tools for managing change and organizational boundaries to achieve the results they want. The authors explain how individuals, groups, and organizations experience change and work with boundaries - and what facilitators do to help. Weaver and Farrell present a model and concepts that have been applied successfully in manufacturing, telecommunications, health care, education, retail and other service businesses, and government and other non-profit organizations.

Media Reviews
Managers As Facilitators is a great reference to use as a team develops and changes. The Quick Fix section offers excellent clues to solving everyday management problems.
-- Rebecca L Erdahl, Vice President of Community Relations and Diversity, The Pillsbury Company

This is a keep-it-out-on-the-credenza handbook for the coach/manager of the '90s. It is well organized, with lots of easy-to-find summaries, charts, and tables. I highly recommend it.
-- Larry Newman, Region Vice President, A T&T
