On a more subtle level, it is rarely sufficient to simply open up a topic for discussion and expect that natural conversation will be safe enough and inviting enough to draw out all the relevant input (not because meetings are inherently unsafe, but because not everyone processes ideas and is ready to articulate their thinking at the same pace, and because not everyone is equally comfortable speaking in front of the whole group). Not only should the facilitator always know where the group is at, but they should have a damn good idea about where the conversation is headed-and whether it will be a good thing to go there. That said, there are levels of subtleties. It's a skill set that most would think of of right away when asked what facilitators do.
