“Crisis at Santa's Workshop is more than a story on facilitation. It broadens the concept of leadership to include everyone. It illustrates the value of asking questions, listening and being open to other perspectives.”
— Alice Murray, Project Manager, Subscription Services 3M
“A meaningful and delightful story for all organizational leaders. Weaver and Farrell reinforce a critical role of managers and leaders to create a powerful, productive work environment using the principles of facilitation."
–Kristen Witte, Director of Operations, Human Resources, Best Buy, Inc.
