Here’s what real leaders open with instead:
1. “What’s one thing slowing you down this week?”
Cuts straight to roadblocks. Not feelings.
Now you’re solving—not just chatting.
2. “Where do you need my help—or my silence?”
Shows trust. Offers support. Sets the tone.
3. “What outcome are you most proud of this week—and why?”
Not only does this reveal wins...
It teaches your team to think in impact, not tasks.
Leadership isn’t about being nice.
It’s about being clear, useful, and present.
Start your meetings like they matter.
Or stop wasting everyone’s time.
