facilius reddo — The Modern/ Facilitative Leadership Style to Make Easy

Facilius Reddo: Embracing the Modern Facilitative Leadership Style

The term “facilitaera” first appeared in France in 1611, during the Renaissance, originating from the Latin phrase facilius reddo, which means “easily accomplished” or “attained.” At its core, “facil” translates to “make easy.”

To Make Easy Using Dynamic Content: The Evolving Role of Facilitators in an Age of Instant Communication

We aim to make it easier for you to make it easier for others to explain issues and positions, create and understand options, and make more informed decisions. Our goal supports your facilitative efforts to simplify complex processes, empowering you to make it easier for others to articulate issues, explore and understand options, and make informed decisions.

Purpose: To Make It Easy

At MGRUSH we define “consensus” as a situation where everyone can support the outcome without losing sleep over it. Our mission is to equip you with the tools and techniques to help others achieve true consensus—not by taking the easy way out, but by fostering creativity, innovation, and overcoming barriers like miscommunication, politics, and perceived intolerance.

Your role and attitude are critical. By engaging with this Best Practices series, you’ll cultivate an attitude of continuous learning and improvement. In this millennium, learning and listening have emerged as the most effective attitudes for facilitators. We invite your comments, feedback, and challenges, and encourage you to share this content with session leaders—even those who aren’t MGRUSH-certified facilitators.

Facilitation Expert

Terrence Metz, president of MG RUSH Facilitation Training, was just 22-years-old and working as a Sales Engineer at Honeywell when he recognized a widespread problem—most meetings were ineffective and poorly led, wasting both time and company resources. However, he also observed meetings that worked. What set them apart? A well-prepared leader who structured the session to ensure participants contributed meaningfully and achieved clear outcomes.

Throughout his career, Metz, who earned an MBA from Kellogg (Northwestern University) experienced and also trained in various facilitation techniques. In 2004, he purchased MG RUSH where he shifted his focus toward improving established meeting designs and building a curriculum that would teach others how to lead, facilitate, and structure meetings that drive results. His expertise in training world-class facilitators led to the 2020 publication of Meetings That Get Results: A Guide to Building Better Meetings, a comprehensive resource on effectively building consensus.

Grounded in the principle that “nobody is smarter than everybody,” the book details the why, what, and how of building consensus when making decisions, planning, and solving problems. Along with a Participant’s Guide and supplemental workshops, it supports learning from foundational awareness to professional certification.

Metz’s first book, Change or Die: A Business Process Improvement Manual, tackled the challenges of process optimization. His upcoming book, Catalyst: Facilitating Innovation, focuses on meetings and workshops that don’t simply end when time runs out but conclude with actionable next steps and clear assignments—ensuring progress beyond discussions and ideas.
