"Good facilitation acts as a force multiplier for leadership effectiveness because it drives better teamwork and quicker results. "Leaders with facilitation skills are better at influencing, settling disputes, and keeping groups cohesive and productive," Miclot remarked." https://lnkd.in/gAdjdqFh Thanks for this article Kevin Kruse, and for your book The Facilitation Advantage Therese Miclot and Kat Koppett.

Facilitation skills can truly transform leadership, acting as a catalyst for better teamwork and faster results. Leaders who master facilitation can influence their teams more effectively, resolve conflicts, and maintain cohesion and productivity. It’s all about having the right mindset, strategic content, and a well-defined process. Kevin Kruse's Forbes article highlights how these skills unlock leadership potential. Personally, I find that mindset comes more easily because I've trained myself to be self-aware of my emotions in the moment. However, I see room for improvement in the process—like knowing when to deviate from the agenda to better serve our goals and strategy. These are skills that can and should be taught and practiced. I’d love to hear your thoughts! How do you incorporate facilitation into your leadership style, and what areas do you find most challenging? Let’s strive to build these skills into our leadership toolkit to inspire and empower our teams. #Leadership #Facilitation #LeadershipSkills #Teamwork #Influence
