Great Leadership
has a wonderful series
of quick tips to make you a better leader.
My favorite tip
is to ask and LISTEN to feedback
by using four little words
“What do you think?”
What makes this a great question
is that it doesn’t intimidate.
You’re not asking people
to solve a tough problem
or figure out the solution to world peace.
You’re asking them
for their opinion.
Even if their opinion
doesn’t help with the problem at hand,
it will help you
to understand the answerer’s thought processes.
It also gives you feedback
on whether you’re communicating properly.
Try it.
Ask “What do you think?”
today and listen to the answers you receive.
