Facilitator's manual (Facilitator’s Guide to Participatory Decision-Making) I read this book by Sam Kaner. 7 Years ago, when the word “facilitation” had not yet become so popular:) To begin the description of the book is to tell who is actually a facilitator, which is mentioned in the title of the book. This is a person who, through his actions, helps the group maintain a constructive dialogue and come to solutions to problems affecting the group. In fact, a facilitator is a catalyst for group communication. Now about the book itself.

He advocated remote work even before the covid, where we were all forced to be remote and could try it out.
