“The leader of the past knew how to tell — the leader of the future will know how to ask” ~ Peter Drucker.
No two brains are the same, managers who try to tell others what to do and how to do it their ways are simply INEFFECTIVE!
Great leaders transform people by helping them reason for themselves. This is accomplished by “ASK MORE, TELL LESS” approach in a collaborative ‘thinking environment’ of ‘active listening’ and ‘asking powerful questions’ to evoke self-directed awareness, new insights and thinking to formulate effective and achievable solutions.
Transformational coach kicks off an amazing, insightful and successful coaching journey asking the powerful ‘What’ questions, followed by the ‘How’ and ‘When’ questions to complete the exploration process.
A transformational coach would:
· understand that individuals are unique, and are committed to maintaining their own opinions. They are unlikely to act on your ideas, but will on their own.
· help people transform by helping them think and uncover solutions.
· ask powerful questions that guide individuals to answer in ways that generate self-awareness, energy and direct attention to solutions.
· use curiosity questions to uncover, discover and ignite energy, inspire thinking and self-exploration.
· focus on solutions to create new mental wiring to effect change and improvements — generates immediate positive energy, new thinking, ideas and options.
Inspirational leaders use ‘solution-focus’ tools to talk. They maintain a focus on the future, not the past, to help individuals move forward and maintain a positive attitude. They ask ‘Outcome Questions’, ‘Personal Discovery Questions’, ‘Comparative Questions’ and ‘Way Forward Questions’.
