Mary, great post! William, great comment!

Stuff that makes you go, hmmmmmmmmm!  I coach/train leaders and facilitators.  Unless you are wired for leadership, there is much to learn.  The real magic however, occurs in the APPLICATION, EXECUTION, and FOLLOWUP of leadership and facilitation tasks.  This is the moment when you realize that it's harder than it looks!

Facilitators are usually selected because they are (1) good with people, and/or (2) knowledgeable in the subject matter.  I would apply these same principles for why people are selected for leadership.

There is a real need in supporting the leaders in our organization, not only in training them, but in providing support as they lead.
