Facilitation : coaching guidelines towards leadership development

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2003. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Facilitation is considered one of the core leadership skills needed for young
managers today. In order to master the principles of facilitation, it is necessary for
potential facilitators to have a thorough understanding of the four main elements of
facilitation namely, The Task at hand, the personal characteristics, skills and
techniques required of facilitators, the group dynamics that come into play in the
facilitation process and the facilitation process itself.
In the continuously changing environment of business, it is important that managers
lead their organisations and teams through change with a facilitation management
style. In order to cope with change, it is necessary to understand what change is and
how it will affect the organisation and the people working for the organisation.
This study intends to give young, talented managers the skills to be effective
facilitators in their organisations. It is intended to give talented managers a working
document to help them manage in a constantly changing environment where much is
expected of them regarding management styles and social interaction. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Fasilitering word beskou as een van die kern leierskapsvaardighede wat van vandag
se jong bestuurders verwag word. Ten einde die beginsels van fasilitering baas te
raak, is dit belangrik dat voornemende fasiliteerders 'n deeglike begrip moet hê van
die vier basiese beginsels van fasilitering naamlik, Die Taak wat afgehandel moet
word, die eienskappe waaroor fasiliteerders moet beskik, die groepsdinamika
betrokke in fasilitering en die proses van fasilitering self.
In die voortdurend veranderende besigheidsomgewing is dit belangrik dat
bestuurders hul organisasies en spanne lei aan die hand van 'n fasiliterende
bestuurstyl. Ten einde verandering te kan hanteer, is dit nodig om te verstaan wat
verandering behels en hoe dit die organisasie en die mense wat vir die organisasie
werk beïnvloed.
Dit is die doelwit van hierdie studie om jong, talentvolle fasiliteerders die vaardigheid
te gee om effektiewe fasiliteerders in hul organisasies te wees. Dit is die bedoeling
om talentvolle bestuurders 'n werksdokument te gee om hulle te help om te bestuur
in 'n konstante veranderende omgewing waar baie van hulle verwag word rakende
bestuurstyle en die interaksie met mense.
