With its focus on asking rather than telling, and listening to build consensus, facilitation is the new leadership ideal. This course will introduce you to this core competency and give you practical ways to apply it in the workplace.

It is impossible to be part of an organization and not attend meetings. If you have the opportunity to “run” these meetings, how do you facilitate the team interaction, rather than control it? Facilitation skills allow you to help a group be successful and reach decisions.
