#288: Why You Should Be Asking More, and Telling Less
Manage episode 496836029 series 2500400
Leadership isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about helping your team find them.
In this episode, I talk about why shifting towards a coaching approach - asking more and telling less - can improve your leadership. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth it.
You’ll discover:
- What a coaching approach looks like in everyday leadership
- The benefits for your team: ownership, confidence, and better ideas; and
- The common fears leaders have about this approach (and how to overcome them).
If you want your team to think for themselves, be more proactive, and feel invested, give this episode a try.
