Underneath it all, who are you really?With this difficult and powerful question, Michael opens the door to the disquieting possibility that we are all more than we believe we are, more than our thoughts, behaviors, reactions, emotions, trauma, and personas. Presented in two parts, The Internal Work, and The External Work, Michael blends helpful ideas and concepts with powerful examples from his life and work to help his readers unwrap who they really are. They learn to craft creative, passionate, and fulfilling lives of honesty, skillful feelings, and radical and scandalous joy.

What is a Facilitative Leader?Facilitative leaders create organizations where engagement is the norm, collaboration is the vehicle, and higher levels of achievement are the result.Unfortunately, many leaders continue to view their role primarily as one of setting direction, allocating resources, and putting in place rewards, support, and development systems that ensure their people stay focused on achieving that direction.In the changing workplace, this archaic view of leadership is completely inadequate. More and more, employees are seeking to understand where their organization is going and to influence the paths taken to get there.This shift in the workplace requires a new set of leadership skills. Leaders must know how to inspire people around a vision, foster trust, manage group interaction, build consensus, resolve conflict, and adapt their approach to the specific needs of each person they lead. They must be able to facilitate rather than dictate. This new direction calls for facilitative leaders.Praise for 8 Core Practices of Facilitative Leaders“If you want a great book that takes a facilitative approach to leadership, here it is!
