 Final Assessment of Leadership &
Communication
•  I set goals, guide team discussions, and make
the final decision. But you also acknowledge
that your people can have valuable insight into
a problem or process, so I actively consult
them . As a result, I am likely to gain creative
input and fresh ideas that I wouldn't have
come up with if you were working alone.
