What is one leadership skill that you feel is very underrated? Be thinking about that…we’ll come back to it in a moment, because I’d love to hear what you think. 

In this leadership training session, I share my thoughts on one of the most underrated leadership skills. One that is often overlooked, but incredibly powerful when developed and utilized. And I learned more about it by reading Bob Tiede’s newest book, “Now That’s a Great Question”

 

 

Session Recap

• Are you a benevolent dictator? Are you likable and kind, but making things all about you?
• Great leaders ask questions. This helps your team think for themselves instead of relying on your opinion all the time. And that produces great results in the long run.
• A few favorite quotes:
  • “Bob’s 4 most favorite questions: What do you think? What else? What else? What else?”
  • “Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.” -David Augsburger
  • “Telling creates resistance. Asking creates relationships.” -Andrew Sobel
• Great leaders build influence through relationships.
