A short leadership talk (YouTube video) discussing how leaders can shift from directing to guiding by asking questions, and the challenges this poses — especially that asking questions can feel strange or imply lack of trust unless a relationship has been established. The speaker plans to address how to build the necessary trust to make questioning effective.
What would be the causes? Somebody would take a good intent and receive it in the wrong way. One, it's not a normal conversation. So if you're just now kind of switching from directing to guiding and now asking the questions, it's really freaking weird for the person receiving it. Let's face it, right? It's like who the hell are you and what did you do? Did you go to another class? Is that all you did? Right. This is common thought. So let's be real about. It's insinuating a lack of trust. That's usually one of the primary drivers is we have connected to a point where we've almost earned the right. So we. It's a balance. Right. We've got. And that's one place I will say that there is a balance or blend, whatever you want to call it. But. But we may not have that relationship yet with that person. But how do you get the relationship with. With that person? Yes, we're going to talk about that today. But you know, it might be we've got to build a little extra trust so they. They feel comfortable in us asking the question.
