The Skilled Facilitator is about how you ca help groups become more effective, whether you are a facilitator, leader, manager, consultant, coach, or trainer. When I wrote the first edition, facilitative skills were something you would call on a facilitator for. Now, many organizations realize that the set of skills an effective facilitator has are the same skills others need when they work with groups. Facilitative skills are increasingly becoming a core competency for leaders, consultants, and others who work with groups. It's not just for facilitators anymore.
