Questioning Leadership

Knowing what questions to ask and how to ask them is key to empowering officers, building community relations, and creating a high performing department.


"Questions differentiate a superior doctor from an average one, in that an average doctor will ask a question and not listen to the answer. A superior doctor will ask questions and listen to the answers. An exceptional doctor will create an environment where the patient asks their own questions and answers them.
--[Leeds (2000) quoting John Strauss, MD, p. 162]

The same can be said of leaders. Be a questioning leader. Help take law enforcement into a brave, new world. If you've used questions in your leadership, write me. If I get enough responses, I'll share them here in another article.
