It was Peter Drucker who said, “The leader of the past may have been the one who offered all the right answers, but the leader of the future will be the one who asks all the right questions.”On this episode, J.R. talks about one of his favorite topics: question-asking. He unpacks why leaders must lead with questionable influence; they must be the kinds of leaders who ask the best questions. On this episode we look at the four levels of questions and how leaders can utilize these four levels of questions in their own life and leadership.***If you enjoy this podcast, can I ask a 45 second favor?
