Good Leaders Ask Great Questions
by John C. Maxwell
Maxwell on questions as a leadership tool: the ones to ask yourself, your team and your mentors, followed by his answers to questions readers sent him. The first half is the valuable part; the second half is a grab-bag. The questions themselves are worth copying into a notebook.
Read it if…
you want to lead by asking rather than telling and need good questions.
Skip it if…
you want a tight book; the second half sprawls.
Three things you will actually use
- Questions unlock more than answers.
- Ask yourself the hard ones first.
- Listen as if you did not already know.
Do this first
Replace one directive in your next meeting with a question and wait for the answer.
Our verdict
Useful questions, uneven book.
