Great leaders and great teams
Written by P Griffin October 2025
The best leaders don’t have all the answers — they ask better questions.
Questions that challenge, inspire, and unlock progress.
Great leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room — it’s about creating the conditions for others to think, contribute, and grow. When you ask the right questions, you open the door to insight, collaboration, and innovation.
Try asking your team these 5 powerful questions:
-
What’s working well — and what could we do even better?
Encourages reflection and continuous improvement. - What’s getting in the way of you doing your best work?
Surfaces barriers that may be holding people back. -
If you were in my position, what would you focus on first?
Builds empathy, understanding, and shared ownership of priorities. -
What’s one thing we could do differently to make this team stronger?
Promotes collective responsibility and innovation. -
How can I better support you?
Demonstrates humility and a genuine commitment to others’ success.
Leadership isn’t about perfection — it’s about growth. And growth starts with curiosity, openness, and the courage to listen.
