Facilitative Leadership
Dimensions of Success
Because leaders are accountable for results, they tend to focus their energy and attention on reaching the goal quickly. Consequently, leaders often inadvertently undermine the long-term success of the endeavor. Facilitative leaders balance their focus across three dimensions: results, process, and relationship.

Time Available
