“The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell. The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.”
~Peter Drucker
Listen to most managers and you will hear them telling others what to do and how to do it. It is only the effective manager who actually leads – by asking questions of his followers and peers. “How can we do this better?” “Why do you think we got this result?” And my favorite, “How can I help you?” Are you asking questions or are you telling?
