Quit Answering, Start Asking

There are three ways to ask better questions: 1. Be curious and use words wisely; 2. Challenge what we “know"; and 3. Have in mind an idea of what a productive outcome is. Asking questions in a leadership position creates more opportunities. Increasing adaptability of your teams means incorporating their experiences and ideas to solve problems and create impactful solutions. This also means letting go of the need to have answers … and control. Listen to Jess Dewell share the insights from Elizabeth Bachman, Max Irzhak, and Mickey Desai in a discussion about empowering ourselves and others to ask better questions.
