When a great leader is trying to solve a problem and has a few thoughts about possible solutions, how should the leader proceed?
On first glance a rather simple question.
Some say that the leader should merely ask the question. Others say that the leader should ask the question and include the answer. Or that great leaders don’t always have a solution and must ask a question.
A better approach is to reframe the question so that the leader asks a question that builds on the information and the initial idea. Here is an example that illustrates this approach:
