Dan Rockwell • Set Goals That Strengthen Relationships
Great questions for 1:1s.
Definitely aligns with one of my other articles I saved today on the things we do to impress others [[3-2-1: On Impressing Others, the Power of the Mind, and the Hidden Costs of Success]] by James Clear.
Even in 1:1s, I think leaders often forget the 1:1 is not for us to dominate, but rather, it is time for those in our charge to discuss their goals, desires, dreams, plans, challenges, etc.
It is time for us to listen and lead. We need to listen well, ask great questions, and support those we are called to support and grow.
I like these questions a lot from Dan, now I need to stop talking other than to start asking them.
