facilitative
Helping things along
Facilitative describes something that makes a process easier or helps it happen.
The word appears most often in professional and academic contexts: facilitative leadership, a facilitative role.
A facilitative approach removes obstacles rather than directing action—enabling others to accomplish their goals rather than accomplishing goals for them.
