The Art + Science of Facilitation

The highest-stakes conversations in your organization don't fail because of bad strategy. They fail because no one designed the room. The board retreat that circled the same issues. The planning session that built consensus in the moment and resistance six months later. The difficult conversation that never got to the real thing.

Skilled facilitation is what separates those moments from ones that actually move your organization forward. And for most CEOs, it's the last thing on the list until it's the only thing that matters.

Aaron Wolowiec and Lowell Applebaum explore what great facilitation demands at the executive level, how to recognize when you need it, and how to decide whether to lead it or get out of the way.
