People admire and like you better when you connect and talk to them well, right?
The same reason why great leaders are known for being people leaders! Be it their well-defined ability to begin and lead a conversation or a speech by asking questions, rather than telling, especially when they don’t know the answer or asking enough of the right people the right questions to elicit the right and best answers, these people leaders are more effective in their ways of leading and governing. Likewise, if you are heading an organisation, asking critical questions will be key to empowering and creating a high-performance team at work.
