What Is the Value of Good Questions?

April 12th, 2012 | Leadership

It tells people you value them
Engages them in self-discovery – helps them process what they think and believe
Helps people process and own their decisions
It takes the pressure off you needing to have the “right answer”
Increases teamwork, creates better buy in for change and improves decision making and problem solving

From Ned Mervich, Pastor at North Coast Church, Vista, CA

Have you heard the quote, “None of us is as good as all of us?” What questions can you ask your team today to improve problem solving, decision making and teamwork?
