According to a recent article by Fred Ente (director of curriculum for a large school district in New York), effective leadership thrives by asking the right questions daily — focusing on supporting the goals of others, understanding their thoughts, and exploring recent surprises. These three questions can foster deeper connections and drive meaningful progress within your team.
And while these obviously aren’t the only questions leaders can ask, they can be foundational in helping your team focus in on their specific needs and experiences. That’s always an important step that leaders can take to increase communication and help their systems improve.
