Leading With Open Ended Questions

Have you noticed what happens when someone asks you a really good open-ended question? Your mood shifts and body language changes as your mindsets on a quest to look within, think deeply and churn out ideas. The endorphin rush that comes from exploring uncharted territories triggers a positive feeling in the body.

Good open-ended questions encourage people to indulge in storytelling and forming new connections. It motivates action, builds trust, and promotes accountability.

Yet, people who have all the answers are favored over those who indulge in deliberate thinking. Answers and not questions have become the hallmark of great leadership.
