Up: [[Questioning]] Created: 2024-01-29 The best leaders ask the ambitious, unexpected questions that no one else is asking, rather than pretend to have all the answers. Leadership questions tend to be visionary. ### Good Examples - When have I come up short — and why? Failure usually contains lessons that may be useful in developing guiding principles. - Who are my formative influencers? What did I learn from them? - What do we do that others can’t or won’t? This shifts focus to your strengths and uniqueness. - If we disappeared tomorrow, who would miss us? This clarifies why you matter and to whom. - What should we stop doing? This is the Peter Drucker question intended to practice systematic abandonment. - What stupid rule should we kill?

This is how to maximize your personal productivity. > [!User] Warren Berger in *The Book of Beautiful Questions*
