Leading with Questions with Bob Tiede06 Sep 202300:37:57

A good leader isn't afraid of questions. Bob Tiede joins Kevin to discuss the art of questioning, this includes the importance of asking open-ended questions, not putting people in a corner, giving them the time to respond, and the opportunity to say yes. He believes that leaders often hesitate to ask questions because they feel the need to project an image of having all the answers. However, he emphasizes that asking questions not only helps leaders gain valuable insights but also empowers their team members to contribute their ideas and perspectives.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Leaders often hesitate to ask questions because they feel the need to have all the answers.
  2. Asking open-ended questions can lead to more meaningful conversations and better insights.
  3. Good questions give information, but better questions lead to deeper understanding.
  4. The art of questioning involves asking the question and then giving the person time to answer.
  5. Creating a question culture involves practices like question storming and asking for multiple perspectives.

00:09:39 What keeps leaders from asking questions
00:11:32 Giving answers denies space for others to contribute.
00:13:06 Leaders who project having all the answers come across as unsure.
00:13:47 Asking questions as a leader is more important now.
00:22:09 The art of questioning includes giving people time to answer.
00:25:18 The mindset of a learner is important when questioning.
00:27:32 Creating a question culture through question storming.
00:28:53 Culture and generating questions to solve issues.
00:29:25 Bob's favorite question: "What do you think?"
00:30:04 The power of asking "What else?" multiple times.

The Art of Active Listening with Heather Younger23 Aug 202300:33:32

Listening is important for our interactions and our ongoing relationships. Heather R. Younger joins Kevin to talk about active listening, which is more than nodding your head and repeating what someone says. Active listening uses your senses to recognize what is unsaid. Active listening is about engaging with the other person, showing interest, and understanding their emotional state. Active listening is about taking the time to research, reflect, and analyze the feedback or request received. Active listening is acting, even if the action is a compromise or a no. Lastly, active listening is consistently closing the loop to show that their voice is valued and their feedback matters.

Listen For

00:00 Introduction to the importance of active listening
02:14 Heather Younger's background and motivation for focusing on listening
06:23 Definition of active listening as understanding what others want
08:38 The five steps of the active listening cycle
11:44 Step 1: Recognizing the unsaid
15:15 Step 2: Seeking to understand
18:28 Step 3: Decoding and reflecting
22:43 Step 4: Taking action
24:46 Step 5: Closing the loop

Never Say Whatever with Richard Moran03 May 202300:34:53

WHATEVER. When we use this word to answer a question, we aren't deciding or, we are passing the buck. Richard Moran believes that when we use the word Whatever we may feel helpless or lack control, and we surrender. Often, we have more control than we think. So, when we make decisions, both the big and the small ones that seem insignificant, we need to be intentional. The action we take follows the intent.

Key Points
  • Richard Moran shares his research on trends about the word Whatever and how it relates to decision-making. 
  • He discusses how Whatever can impact leadership by creating a culture of indifference.
Meet Richard
  • Name: Richard Moran
  • His Story: Richard Moran is the author of Never Say Whatever: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference. He is a Silicon Valley-based business leader, workplace pundit, bestselling author, venture capitalist, former CEO, and college president. He is best known for his series of humorous business books beginning with the bestselling, Never Confuse a Memo with Reality, and is credited with starting the genre of "Business Bullet Books."
  • Worth Mentioning: Richard Moran holds a Ph.D. in organizational behavior, but his work is not academic. Research is important and he believes what is just as critical are the observations one can make by being in the trenches of business. His observations are candid, humorous, and true. His body of work includes 10 books about using commonsense in business. He is the host of the CBS syndicated radio program, "In the Workplace." Rich has appeared on CNN, NPR, and most major media outlets.
