You want to lead the meeting yet sit back, observe your team, get their honest thoughts and work together.   Each time you lead, you notice that the conversation is not as rich as you would like.  People seem to be figuring out what you would like and moving towards your opinion. 

If this is happening to you, you need a third-party facilitator.  Someone who can understand your goals for the team, create an agenda that will help the team meet those goals, and pay attention to group process as the meeting or retreat unfolds.

Business Impact Associates can give you the support you need—from initial conversation about your plans to follow up after the meeting. 

Please see the checklist "When to Hire a Facilitator"
