Learning to ask great questions instead of giving our employees our answers, will create an innovative and high-performing team.

Jesus asked his disciples no less than 117 recorded questions in his three years on earth.  Ever wonder why?
He was teaching them how to become the future leaders of Hid church.
By asking questions instead of giving answers, like Jesus, we can help teach our employees the critical thinking skills to discover their purpose.

Here is a brief list of questions you can use during your next One-On-One time:

My Big-3:

These are three great questions for kickoff off a new employee relationship…or even if you want to get an idea of where they are at in general.

  • #1 – What is one thing you are regularly doing that doesn’t support your current ambitions?
  • #2 – How would your overall effectiveness be transformed if you changed this behavior right now?
  • #3 – What can be your first step, a small step, that is meaningful and achievable?

Stop-Start-Continue

These are great questions to use during your monthly one-on-one as a way of helping them think through their own productivity

  • What didn’t work well for you last month that you want to stop doing this month?
  • What didn’t you do last month that you want to start doing this month?
  • What worked well for you last month that you want to continue doing this month?

General Questions to Help Achieve a Mind Shift

Determining the right times to ask the following questions takes practice and skill.  It can be learned, however, and when you do, the excitement you help create in your employees is amazing.  Keep these questions handy during your one-on-one times and practice them whenever possible.  

  • If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you attempt to do this week/month/year?
  • What’s been getting in your way?
  • What’s the benefit of this problem?
  • What’s stopping you?
  • How can you find out?
  • What does this mean to you?
  • How would you like it to be?
  • What rules have you created that are blocking you right now?
  • If you change your belief about this, what would be possible?
  • What will you have to give up in order to make room for this new goal?
  • How can you address this situation so that it never comes back?
  • Which step could you take that would make the biggest difference right now?
  • What are you willing to do to improve this situation?
  • How can you enjoy the process of resolving this situation?
  • What will your impact be 10 years from now?
  • How will you transform your life with this new knowledge?
  • How can get better results next time?
  • What could you be happy about if you chose to be?
  • What’s great about your life right now?
  • If this weakness were also a strength, what would that strength be?
