Here are six of my most favorite “Leading With Questions” Quotes:

2. “The leader of the past may have been a person who knew how to tell, but certainly the leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.” Dr. Peter Drucker, 1909 – 2005, Management Consultant
3. “A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but delights in sharing his own opinions.”  King Solomon – Proverbs 18:2  
4. “The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.”   Henry David Thoreau, 1817 – 1862, American author, poet & philosopher
5. When you give advice the brain is basically asleep. If you engage them and ask them questions that help them come to their own insights, it comes alive.  Dr. Henry Cloud, author, speaker and psychologist
6. Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable.  David Augsburger, Senior Professor of Pastoral Care and Counseling at Fuller Seminary
