"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

What map do you use?

Some soldiers got lost; they are cold, hungry, worried. A leader stands up and says: “Follow me! I have a map.” They follow him, even though all they wanted to do was to sit down. Eventually they reach civilization. The leader is hailed as hero.

Then they find out that the leader had the wrong map.

People will follow anyone who has a map—even if it is the wrong one.
