On the surface, it seems reasonable, but for it to truly become part of our daily actions, we first need to address our mindsets around it. It\u2019s imperative that we believe our key role as leaders is to achieve results\u00a0<em>with<\/em>\u00a0and<em>\u00a0through<\/em>\u00a0others.<\/h3>\n<p>Again, seems simple and reasonable, but it\u2019s a belief system we need to adopt. It requires us to fundamentally believe that we must develop the capabilities of others and thus increase the capacity of our teams.<\/p>\n<h3>Is your mindset where it needs to be to move into a coaching and mentoring role? Here are six questions to ask yourself:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you genuinely delight in the success of others on your team, even those who may be poised to eclipse you in recognition and compensation?<\/li>\n<li>Are your thoughts and actions aligned with an abundant or scarce point of view when it comes to those around you who might be competing with your time and attention?<\/li>\n<li>Are you willing to acknowledge that there are different paths to the same level of success and that some of them are better than yours?<\/li>\n<li>Can you look introspectively at how you\u2019re lifting and building others and balance that with your own needs to grow and learn?<\/li>\n<li>How effective are you at championing your team members for new roles, even those outside your own division or area of responsibility?<\/li>\n<li>Do you remember what it was like to struggle early in your career and relate to the feeling of having a leader who shamed or humiliated you for your lack of experience?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moving into a mindset that ignites your energy and efforts to build others is the starting gate to becoming an effective leader. Add more questions to the ones listed above and wrestle with them.<\/p>\n<h3>Which questions did you answer \u201cno\u201d to? Confronting those questions is key to moving into a coaching state of mind.<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>The best leaders are curious. But they don\u2019t just ask a lot of questions. They ask the right questions\u2014the kind that focus their team\u2019s brainpower on the right problems. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/40-back-pocket-questions-to-unleash-your-teams-intelligence-MRK2063602_V1.0.3.2.pdf\">Download 40 back-pocket questions to unleash your team&#8217;s intelligence here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/40-back-pocket-questions-to-unleash-your-teams-intelligence-MRK2063602_V1.0.3.2.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15536 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.franklincovey.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/03\/Great-leaders-ask-better-questions-blog-CTA-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<span class=\"animated-line\" style=\"margin-top: 3.5rem\"><\/span>\n\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":29436,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[67],"class_list":["post-15532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-leadership"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
