Leaders should always be the facilitator, but typically (in the meetings that I've been in), they do too much talking. Often, others in the meeting are intimidated to say anything because of the fear of looking or sounding foolish. That is why I like sub-committees. They offer others (who might normally not speak up) a chance to contribute more. However, when an organization has strong leadership (like mine does), this typically does not happen- but I've seen it happen many times before.
