About the book

Leaders Who Ask: Building a Fearless Culture by telling less and asking more

When we tell people what to do, they may listen, but they are unlikely to commit to action and are even less likely to remember. When we ask great questions that lead to insight, there’s an emotional component triggered in the brain that leads to commitment and accountability. The Leader Who Asks uses these strategies and more to connect deeply, lead fearlessly and achieve results that transform.
