This facilitator's manual consists of guidelines and materials for use in conducting a workshop dealing with three management basics for minority women--communication, decision making, and interpersonal skills. Covered in the first half of the manual are the following aspects of implementing the workshop: background on the need for and development of the workshop, a workshop outline and time schedule, the logistics of the workshop, preparing for the workshop, lesson plans for its six sessions, a decision-making paradigm, and suggested readings. The second half of the manual consists of a participant's notebook that contains various forms, information sheets, and learning activities. Included among these are a workshop outline, a pre-workshop questionnaire, communication and decision-making activities, validation exercises, and a workshop evaluation form. (Related facilitator's manuals dealing with career planning and personal and professional development for minority women are available separately--see note.) (MN)
