Smart leaders know they achieve more effective results when solutions are created, understood, and accepted by the people who are impacted by them. Involving your team in the process creates clarity and increases the chance to achieve buy-in by considering the ideas, viewpoints, and concerns of stakeholders. However, getting more than just a few people with differing backgrounds, viewpoints, and agendas to collaborate and reach a productive outcome can be a daunting task. That’s when you need a skilled facilitator.
