It's been years that I have been speaking about facilitation being the next leadership skill, and it's only now that I realize that I haven't really specified what a leader is. And I'm particularly thinking of all the leaders who remain invisible, who are not sitting in the leadership training because they don't lead with formal authority. I'm thinking of project managers, product managers, product owners, change managers. So I wonder, who are these invisible leaders who are using facilitation skills every day because they are driving growth and change in organizations? And what parts of facilitation skills do they actually need in in order to leverage the impact of their work.
