Wisemen and Wiseguys




"A wise man's questions contain half the answers."

Solomon Ibn Gabirol
11th century Hebrew poet/Jewish philosopher

And you know those wise men when you meet them.

They have a way of getting you to answer the questions they ask, and in retrospect, you kind of know they weren't asking because they didn't know.

Those are the managers I want to work for.

  1. Leading by asking questions is a leadership art form too few managers understand. When you ask a question it doesn't always mean you don't know the answer.
