[[Carl Rogers]] quotes Lao-tse in defining an effective group facilitator: > A leader is best > When people barely know that he exists, > Not so good when people obey and acclaim him, > Worst when they despise him ... > But of a good leader, who talks little, > When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, > They will all say, "We did this ourselves." Vanessa Andreotti says that: > The facilitator needs to bring the possibility of matter-regulation with them. If not matter- then co-, if not co- then individual, at the least, that's the basics, because whatever you do as the facilitator, you are creating a collective neurological, neurochemical system. Once you evoke that, which in Quechua, you evoke I-in-me, we are one group, you have an enormous responsibility to bring equilibrium in that space.
