The reality of leadership is that generally staff will often not tell us key things unless we ask. When we ask, however, we are likely to get a straight answer. Wise leaders ask these five questions periodically of their staff.
1. Is there anything that I do which causes problems for you or disempowers you?
2. Is there anything that you wish I would do differently?
3. Do you need anything from me?
4. Are you fulfilled in your role and do you believe your gifts are being used to their fullest?
5. What is your happiness factor (1-10)? What would make it higher?
Five simple questions that can create healthy dialogue and significantly enhance your working relationship with staff.
