Instead of ineffective "change management cascades", real directional decisions and coherent reality shaping in organizations without ifs and buts!

Facilitation is a school of thought and life, a craft and an art. This book is therefore for people who are interested in their own thinking, their perceptions and interpretations of reality, who are practically minded and are looking for concrete tips, methods and hints for dialog and action-oriented change and transformation, who understand life itself, as well as a group event or a coherently developed collective, as an artistic act and who want to work out this aspect even more for themselves.

The facilitator's vocation is nourished by a deep and abiding commitment to the roots of organizational development as a democratic practice. The passion of facilitators lies in making organizations understandable as living organisms and organizing communication in such a way that people experience more coherence and self-efficacy. This orientation towards people and the organizational is the special contribution of facilitation at this time.

Comments on the book:
"This book is the standard work for modern facilitation. It is written by highly experienced, reflective facilitators who care deeply about creating humane, responsive and creative work environments. It is full of references, examples and thoughtful interpretations." Christina Baldwin & Ann Linnea, The Circle Way Founders

"400 pages of substance, relevance and an unconditionality rarely encountered. A book with the scars of 20 years of work on and with organizations that should not be missing in any transformation suitcase." Gregor Schrott, VP, Robert Bosch

"Anyone who thinks they will be ready to make a career as an organizational developer after reading this book will most likely be disappointed. I congratulate everyone else on buying this book and possibly starting a lifelong learning journey. Because you are your most important tool. What you focus your attention on becomes more." Sebastian Arens, HR Business Partner, Telekom Deutschland GmbH

"Successful facilitative leadership opens up tremendous potential in an organization to act more agile and resilient to the rhythm of the market. At the same time, it makes it possible to drastically reduce the waste of human potential associated with traditional organizational structures and management. As a result, organizations can be created in which people thrive. Dr. Carsten Block, Chief Product Owner lexoffice, Haufe Group, Freiburg

"As a so-called 'cross-section of the system', the pilot group uncovered all the inevitable problems early on during the joint work and worked on them with the help of facilitation until the breakthrough, the implementation was actually more of a cinch ... really quite different than usual." Kai Duve, Commercial Director, Eurowings GmbH
