Bob Tiede shows us how to lead with questions 
Bob's view is that leadership is not so much about knowing the right answers, as it is about asking the right questions. 
Bob explains how one book changed his approach as a leader, from being a benevolent teller and setting direction to becoming a leader that leads with questions.
Now he has written numerous books on this topic.
In this episode, he shares many examples, not by telling us, but by asking Callum and me for our views which made this a very interactive episode. Bob walks his talk!
Very practical, simple, and highly effective techniques and tips for everyone.
You are guaranteed to walk away with new ideas for immediate implementation.
