What was studied
Linguistic and leadership theories are considered alongside the author’s practice and examples from interviews with ten music leaders reported elsewhere.
What it contributes
Reframing facilitation as leadership highlights pathfinding, safe-space creation, positive relational energy and shared identity; the terminology may better describe the role's complexity than 'making participation easy' alone.
Where the evidence stops
Conceptual and linguistic analysis using author practice plus examples from ten leader interviews reported elsewhere; not an intervention-efficacy test. Generative AI use for readability is disclosed.
