Behaviour of an effective facilitator Remember that you are facilitating another persons process. Its not your process. Do not intrude. Do not control. Do not force your own needs and insights into the foreground. When the work is done, the group will say: “We did it ourselves” Lao Tzu, The Tao Te Te-Ching 23
