Facilitation: 12 Principles of Process Facilitation - Principle 6: Full Participation

Hi,

This is Part 6 of the 12 Principles of Process Facilitation.

One of the core duties of a Facilitator is to encourage participation. Why participation is so important?

It is simply because More Participation, More Ideas can be Generated.

Only when people thinks there is Fairness and Everybody is of Similar Degree of Participation, they will then actively participate.

Being fair, they must have the right to say anything that is relevant and somebody will respond to what they have said.

It is also fair when everybody participate at a similar degree. Nobody dominates and nobody does nothing.

It is full participation that turns a "Group" into a "Team".
