As a leader you must always be looking forward for the sake of your team. When you face a problem and don’t know what steps need to be taken to advance the team, ask the following questions:

  •    Why do we have this problem?
  • How do we solve this problem?
  • What specific steps must we take to solve this problem?

Management expert Peter Drucker said, “My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.” He knew the secret. Successful leaders relentlessly ask questions and have an incurable desire to pick the brains of the people they meet.

John C. Maxwell, Good Leaders Ask Great Questions: Your Foundation for Successful Leadership (New York City, NY: Center Street, 2014).

I believe asking questions is one of the best ways to teach. Toward this end, I have devoted a good part of my life to writing discussion-based Bible study lessons that have groups talking. Check them out at www.mybiblestudylessons.com
