Kevin sits down with Dominic Ashley-Timms and Laura Ashley-Timms to discuss moving from directive leadership towards an approach centered on inquiry. Drawing on their experience working with leaders globally, they share practical insights into how small changes in how we engage, particularly through purposeful, well-timed questions, can lead to greater team engagement, reduced burnout, and a culture of accountability. They present the STAR® model—Stop, Think, Ask, Result—as a tool for developing more purposeful leadership styles. They also explain how to establish coachable moments, highlight the importance of truly listening, and share strategies to help others develop a stronger sense of initiative and responsibility. Their Story: Dominic Ashley-Timms and Laura Ashley-Timms co-authored their best-seller, The Answer is a Question – The Missing Superpower That Changes Everything and Will Transform Your Impact as a Manager and Leader. They are the co-founders of Notion, an international performance improvement consultancy established in 2000. With a team of experts, their company has been recognized for its work with FTSE and Fortune 500 clients with a string of awards for innovation, learning design and commercial impact for their measurable solutions, beating out industry titans. Driven by their mission to transform management and leadership globally, they created the scalable STAR® Manager experiential program, which led to an unprecedented invitation from the UK Government to subject STAR® Manager to the largest scientific study in the world - independently evaluated by the London School of Economics - to assess its impact. https://starmanager.global/podcast/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-ashley-timms https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-ashley-timms/ This Episode is brought to you by...
