We want to work hard to invite others to be in our community. Let's dive into new content. Today, this is part one of a two-part leadership teaching, and we're talking about how to ask better questions. What do we know about most leaders?

112.693 - 135.453 Craig Groeschel

Most leaders are obsessed with having the right answers, right? But we have to acknowledge that you'll never get the right answers without asking the right questions. What's interesting is that I'm really honored to have done leadership Q&As at different places around the world. And every time we do a Q&A, people ask some version of about the same 12 or 15 questions.

135.493 - 151.766 Craig Groeschel

I mean, over and over and over and over again, they're gonna ask, tell me about your schedule. How do you delegate? How do you stay mentally healthy? How do you develop a great culture? How do you increase the vision? How do you appropriately allocate resources? How do you stay motivated, scale up? How do you handle criticism? How do you deal with conflict?

152.066 - 179.544 Craig Groeschel

How do you not grow crazy leading for years and years? And we get a version of those over and over and over again. In all my years of doing Q&As, I don't remember anyone ever asking, How do you ask better leadership questions? How do you ask questions to get really the deep and the best answers? And people should ask that because it's so, so, so important.

180.224 - 205.954 Craig Groeschel

And if you wonder, like, why should we focus on leadership questions, I'll tell you why. Because your leadership potential will never exceed the quality of the questions that you ask. If you want stronger relationships, better outcomes, and to make a bigger impact, ask better questions. The quality of the questions that you ask determine the quality of the information that you get.
