To be a good facilitator, you must NOT be:

  1. Flexible.

  2. Authoritative.

  3. Respectful.

  4. Confident.

The correct answer is: Authoritative.

Being a good facilitator requires creating an environment where participants feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and engaging in discussions. An authoritative approach can hinder open communication and collaboration, which are vital in a facilitative role. Instead, facilitators should be flexible, allowing for adjustments in the flow of conversation based on the needs of the group. Respect is crucial in building trust and fostering a positive atmosphere, while confidence helps in guiding discussions effectively. Thus, maintaining an authoritative stance is counterproductive and can dampen the dynamics of group interactions.
