Many leaders feel that they have to be everything to everybody, having all the solutions to all problems. It\u2019s amazing how many of those people out there are telling people what to do rather than asking the questions that could create better results and building up others. In this episode, I want to dive into this topic a bit more and help us uncover the approach of asking rather than telling.

On this episode:

• Learn how while many leaders feel they need to take everything on for themselves, which doesn\u2019t really help anyone long term, they should really be asking questions and bringing people on the journey with them.
• \u201cThe best thing since sliced bread\u201d - when you let the team come up with a solution, they take ownership over it and it becomes the best thing, rather than a band aid solution. Let\u2019s look at an effective way we can ask questions.

Key Takeaways:

• Asking questions brings solutions 
• You can help people grow by asking questions
• Let your team take ownership of a solution
• Bring a coaching approach 
• Give your team the space to answer questions
• The power of the \u2018Aha!\u2019 moment

\u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of leaders whereby they actually try to tell the person a solution\u2026 but then, what are people learning from that? It\u2019s not really a long term solution.\u201d - Denis Gianoutsos
