Abstract
Today´s technical leadership faces an interesting paradox. On the one hand is the increasing pressure for speed. Technology supports, clients demand, a faster response. This has become a basis for global competitiveness. On the other hand, there is a need to develop problem ownership through involvement, sustained commitment, and the opportunity for continuous personal growth. Individuals wish to be heard, to participate in decisions, and to have an impact. This provides meaning to their jobs. A comprehensive dialog that can bring group attitudes into alignment, requires time. Facilitation of that dialog becomes an essential skill for today´s leaders so that both involvement, and urgency, can be accommodated
