Leaders Listen with Scott Gainey, CMO at Nile
It may sound cruel, but a leader’s priority is not to give answers.
It’s to ask the right questions…
Why?
Because the best way to learn skills is not by being handed a solution but it’s when you come up with it by yourself…
So your priority is to create an environment with roadblocks you know your team can overcome with next to no help.
An easy way to do that is by sharpening your listening skills, so you know the right questions that make your team better.
