Leadership Principles

Top people hunger for information and are interested in the affairs of others


  Nehemiah asks how his compatriots in a far away land are doing.

Neh 1:2 I asked them how things were in Jerusalem.....
 

He is looking to the horizon and does not only care for his own affairs. leaders are not parochial in their thinking. directors have wide interests and know how to ask questions.

Phrase your questions in such a way, that you get more than  YES or NO as an answer. Do not ask : "Did you have a good holiday?" But, " What did you particularly like doing, during your holiday? how did it minister to you personally?" this type of question assures you of more than Just a Yes or a NO. 

Leaders do not have tunnel vision but stand on their toes looking over the whole fiels that is ready to be worked. 

After all Jesus said: Look unto the harvest field, for it is white and ripe for harvesting. You dont use a microscope, but binoculars to see the scope of what needs doing.

Question:-
Do you ask enough open - ended questions? how can you get better replies then just a YES or NO.
