Leading with Questions: How Leaders Find the Right Solutions By Knowing What To Ask

Marquardt, Michael J. 2014.

 

Leading a team with questions can eliminate ambiguity and create alignment among team members, an d knowing how to come up with the right questions to ask is vital. Avoid putting team members on the spot, forcing them into a defensive stance, encouraging them instead to focus on the problems at hand-and creative solutions to those problems. “You don’t have to have the answer to ask a great question,” says Marquardt. “A great question will ultimately get an answer.” His examples and tips guide leaders to create empowering questions that convey respect for the person to whom it’s posed and encourage that person’s development as a thinker. See how you can lead your business to success by asking the right questions.
