5 Big Questions Your Team Needs To Answer

Too many leaders ask the wrong questions, then wonder why they get the wrong solutions.

You’ve probably heard the principle: “Begin with the end in mind.” Many leaders have. And like many leaders, perhaps you’ve sat down with your team and crafted a detailed description of the way you’ll solve for a challenge. You lay out the critical path. You assign ownership for each step. And you put due dates on the calendar. But somehow, all that planning fails to deliver the desired outcome.

In fact, a surprising 85% of new initiatives fail to achieve their intended results. 

In most of those cases, it’s because the leaders in charge of those initiatives are asking the wrong questions. Instead of truly understanding the problem they’re trying to solve, they rush to describe a clever solution. In the process, they fall in love with solutions before falling in love with the problem. That’s not how standout leaders approach things today. They understand that things move quickly and teams need the ability to move forward even when they lack the details to map everything out perfectly. They know how to channel the team’s resources to create customer experiences worth sharing, invent a new value proposition, or improve employee engagement and retention.
