The Role of Inquiry in Leadership
Encouraging leaders to prioritize inquiry over providing answers fosters a more vibrant community. Leaders traditionally feel pressured to be seen as knowledgeable, which can stifle authenticity among group members. By shifting the focus to asking questions, individuals can feel safer and more willing to share their true selves, ultimately creating a supportive and inclusive environment. This change in approach not only enhances group dynamics but also allows leaders to build stronger connections with their teams.
