The Power of Inquiry: How Great Leaders Can Ask Even Better Questions

In this Transform Your Workplace episode, Brandon Laws sits down with Sean Grace, author of The Art of the Question, to explore the transformative power of curiosity and the skill of asking meaningful questions. Grace emphasizes that curiosity isn’t just for kids — it’s a tool for leaders to foster connection, growth, and innovative thinking. He shares how letting go of the need to "know" and asking the right questions opens leaders up to new perspectives and unlocks team creativity. If you’re a leader looking to deepen your influence and inspire genuine engagement, tune in to learn how to master the art of the question.   TAKEAWAYS Curiosity helps leaders grow personally and professionally by fostering open-minded exploration. Leaders can create stronger connections and drive innovation by embracing questions over answers. Open-ended questions like "How might we...?" stimulate creative thinking and teamwork. Leaders focused on inquiry can unlock their team's wisdom and unique perspectives. Self-questioning increases leaders' self-awareness, helping them recognize biases. Cultivating curiosity prevents the "atrophy" of questioning skills over time. The Socratic Method empowers teams by guiding them to discover their own answers. Asking "So what? Who cares?" ensures relevant and impactful communication.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST  🔊 Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR 🎙️  Host: Brandon Laws 📋  In his own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.
