Most leadership is based upon this belief:
Leaders give the answers, followers execute.
It's no supirse, most 1-1's look like this:
At the start, they tell you:
💬 I need to talk about X with you. Do you have an update?
During, they do most of the talking:
💬 I want to you to do X, I need an update by Y
At the end, if you’re lucky, they ask:
💬 Any questions?
🔄 Coach-like leaders take a different approach.
A 1-1 might look like this:
At the start, they ask:
💬 What do YOU want to talk about?
During, you have space and safety, they ask:
💬 What else? Often.
At the end, they check-in:
💬 What was most useful for YOU?
Even when the answers are:
- Hard to hear
- Disagreeable
- Unclear
Coach-like leaders follow YOU.
👉 In your next 1-1:
Lead less, follow more.
Do this by asking better questions.
