Quote from the show - ''When I'm meeting with my team and they're telling me what they've accomplished, they're telling me about any impacts they have had on their day or what other people, external forces might be having on them and getting their job done or any impediments, it's really about me listening, active listening, to ensure I can then discern what needs to be done and what actions need to take place'.
