"While good leaders may voice a solution when a problem rears its ugly head, great leaders ask their teams how to solve it. By framing a problem around appropriate questions, your team will discover the right answers on its own terms, rather than simply being told,” wrote Josh Linkner in the September 5, 2013 Forbes magazine. “This fosters ownership, autonomy, and feelings of success – all crucial ingredients toward a healthy and productive group."
Here are some examples Linkner gives of the kinds of questions great leaders ask:
- "If there were zero chance of failure, what would we do?
- If this venture/new project/hire turns out to be a failure in a year, what would be the root cause?
- What if we did the opposite?
- What if it was an AND, and not an OR?"
