What is one easy tactic I can use to become a better leader?

Asking one simple question can create trust

🔊 Managers: The next time someone on your team asks you for guidance, ask this one question: 'Do you want me to tell you the answer or would you like to be coached?'

As a leader, it's important to know how to respond to questions that require more than a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Conversations that result in "just do what I say" without permission usually fall flat.

By asking this one question, you can help your team members feel heard and supported. If someone wants to be told the answer, they'll listen. However, if they ask to be coached, they're ready to navigate the situation on their own and need you to ask questions to help them explore their options.

🤔 Remember, effective communication is key to building a strong team. Try implementing this simple question in your next conversation and see the difference it can make!
