Ask One More Question Than You Usually Would
ReLeader Real Talk #1
Quick. Bold. Straight to the point.
These are 30–45 second leadership hits you can read before your coffee even cools.
No fluff. No 10-page strategies. Just real stuff you can use today.
Why?
Because sometimes, all you need is a reset… a reminder… a push in the right direction.
We’ll drop these in now and then—something real, something useful, something for right now.
Let’s get into it.
ReLeader Real Talk #1
Most of us stop too soon in conversations. Someone shares a win or a struggle, and we nod, smile, and move on.
Today, don’t stop at the surface. Ask one more question.
When someone says, “I’m just swamped right now,” don’t just say “Hang in there.” Ask, “What’s been the hardest part this week?”
When someone says, “The team feels off,” follow up with, “What do you think is causing that?”
Curiosity builds trust. It also unlocks insights you’d miss if you moved on too quickly.
Be the kind of leader who digs deeper—not to pry, but to care.
Good stuff! Sometimes simply listening and asking good, open-ended questions can trigger powerful solutions.
Great point Pastor Jon. To your point, "And really care, no pretending". Then follow up.
