Are you asking enough questions as a leader?

What questions are you asking?

Asking questions and getting feedback can be a very useful way to improve yourself.  How do you go about forming a question?  Do you think it all the way through or shout out the first thought that comes to mind?  A strategically placed question can be much more than that.  It can allow you to grow not only your team, but your own mind as well.  Here are a few tips for you to become a better questionnaire .  Enjoy.

  • Why am I on earth? This question must be answered in order to discover your personal mission and values.
  • How can I be a better leader? This is a good place to start to develop your personal leadership and growth plans.  Do you have growth plans in place?
  • How can I grow my people? As a leader, your team should be your top growth priority.  How can you help them grow both as individuals and as a team?
  • How can I be more of a leader to you? These following questions can be asked directly to your team members.  They need to know you are always seeking to improve their lives.
  • What are you working on? This also goes very well with “How can I support you?”  While these may seem basic, a correctly placed simple question can go a long way when building a relationship with your team.
  • Ask personal life questions. Get to know your team on a personal level.  Understand individual goals and how they relate to the team. 
  • How can I become a ten? At the end of the season or work year, have your team rate you and if not a ten, ask how you can improve.  Honest feedback can be very valuable.
