”"Talking about the art of facilitative leadership helped deepen my understanding of the ways that leadership style and leadership approach can strengthen or hinder the ways team members' individual skills are leveraged. There is potential for team members to be overlooked or for their skills to be under-utilized depending on the leader's approach. Especially when teams are diverse, it is important for leaders to take time to know what each individual brings and has to offer."
