The facilitator's role is confidential. Interpersonal skills are skills learnt from childhood and constantly refined. It is extremely difficult to find one person who is capable of competently carrying out these three functions. It is not possible to have a database to work from. The great majority of ideas are of an imitative nature.
Facilitators are successful people who love to see others succeed.
Striving for individuality is always a lonely business. Local business facilitation works because it encourages more people to seriously think about entering the business arena. In a community of 10,000 people, in a year, Dr Sirolli expects between 150-200 people will see the local facilitator. Out of these between 25-35 will open a new business or expand an existing one. Hence, the institutions, agencies and corporations which theoretically are there to serve the public often do so in an autocratic way.
