Whether the questions are coming from customers, clients, competitors, employees, or the media, it\u2019s important to be equipped with the right answer at the right time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there is something even more important for leaders than having the right answers. Michael Hyatt addressed this topic in a valuable article and podcast titled \u201cWhat Leaders Need Even More Than the Right Answers:\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cWhile [having the right answers] is definitely important in some situations\u2014especially when responding to the people you are accountable to\u2014it is not the key to success as a leader. There is something even more important than having the right answers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what could be more important?\u00a0<em>Asking the right questions<\/em>. Because only by asking good questions will you be able to learn from the answers, and learning, growing, and improving as a leader is one of the most important things you can do!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are to become a more successful leader, particularly as you move up the chain of command and assume even greater responsibility and accountability, you must consistently improve at asking relevant, precise, and insightful questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his article and podcast Hyatt provides the following suggestions for asking better questions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask open-ended questions.<\/li>\n<li>Get behind the assumptions.<\/li>\n<li>Get both sides of the story.<\/li>\n<li>Ask follow-up questions.<\/li>\n<li>Get comfortable with \u201cdead air.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Help people discover their own insights.<\/li>\n<li>Understand the difference between facts and speculation.<\/li>\n<li>Take notes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How are you at asking good questions? An honest, supportive, and positive discussion with your direct reports and\/or leadership team, evaluating how you and they are doing in this critical area of leadership would no doubt prove extremely valuable for all concerned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have the discussion. Think about it, what do you have to lose? Absolutely nothing! What might you gain? Improved leadership, culture, and performance throughout your organization!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the lead. Have the discussion. Start asking better questions, and reap the positive results!<\/p>\n<div class=\"printfriendly pf-button pf-button-content pf-alignleft\">\n                    <a href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); pfTrackEvent('Leaders: Are the Right Answers What You Need Most?'); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf-button-img\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.printfriendly.com\/buttons\/printfriendly-pdf-button.png\" alt=\"Print Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\" style=\"width: 112px;height: 24px;\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a leader, you\u2019re expected to have the answers.
