"Facilitation is perhaps the key skill for anyone who cares about organizational effectiveness. And yet it calls upon leaders to reach deeply into themselves if they are to bring any degree of mastery to the craft of facilitation—which is not so easy. The Art and Science of Facilitation provides a powerful roadmap that integrates practice with being, science with art in a way that is at once accessible and profound. With every sentence I read in this book, I can sense both the deep wisdom of a sage and the down-in-the-trenches experience of a highly seasoned practitioner. Skipping the “filler” and bypassing niceties, the book pulls no punches. Masterful facilitation may not be easy, but with Marsha’s kind and assured guidance, it becomes totally doable."
