Responding to Barry Mallis' comments (below):
Thanks for the suggestions. I can locate the Team Handbook through books
in print, but what about Viability Group? Where are they located? How
could I contact them?
The assumption behind your suggestions appears to be that the facilitator
should actively intervene in the dialog process? Am I reading you right?
If so, why do you think that? What are your underlying thought processes
which lead to that conclusion?
