While sometimes called a manager or leader, I propose that the more correct title is facilitator. Let's have a discussion about that role and what is needed to be successful which should finds its definition in what is like to have a successful team.
Traits of a good facilitator.
- Removes impediments
- Promotes harmony
- Promotes communication
- Promotes a safe environment
- Appropriately handles urgent or perhaps not urgent issues
- Adequately shields team
- Encourages learning
- Empowers the team
Techniques used by a good facilitator
