Michael J. Marquardt, the founder of WIAL, observed: “Asking rather than telling has become the key to leadership success”.
The late Peter Drucker, a renowned management consultant, noted that the leader of the past may have been a person who knew how to tell, but the leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.
 “The definition of insanity is to carry on doing the same things and expect a different result” ……….Albert Einstein

Please, after reflecting on the six key questions below you realize you cannot afford to miss this course on Leading with Great Questions for Breakthrough Solutions.
1. Honestly speaking, do I mostly ask my subordinates/colleagues closed-ended questions that elicit ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers?
2. Honestly speaking, do I often provide answers to the problems my subordinates or colleagues face?
3. Honestly speaking, do i often dictate to my subordinates or colleagues?
4. Do my organization’s problems keep recurring despite the solutions we implement?
5. Do I often respond to the problems my subordinates or colleagues face with statements rather than with questions?
6. Do I wish I knew how to ask the right questions and when to ask them?
 
WHY THE URGENT NEED TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO LEAD WITH GREAT QUESTIONS FOR BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTIONS?
Too few leaders lead with questions. They tend to dictate or debate rather than inquire or discuss and that is why their organizations are still copying, struggling and even stagnating rather than innovating. With the growing complexity and the speed of change in the world today, a leader won’t simply know enough to adequately tell his subordinates or colleagues what to do. In today’s turbocharged environment, no one can master the data needed to address all the global, international, national, and even local complex problems.
