What’s Your Answer? 20 Questions for You, The CEO
Wouldn’t it be helpful to know some of the most powerful questions I ask some of my CEO clients? You could take the time to think about your answers and work on these as a great strength-building development exercise. Well, I thought it would be helpful to you, so I’m sharing this list of twenty out of the hundreds of questions I have developed over the years as a CEO Coach to help challenge my client’s thinking and goal-setting plans.
How would you answer any or all of them? I would love it if you would share some of your answers in the comments and perhaps, in the future, we will share all the answers in an updated blog post. If any or all of these create some pain when you read them, that is a sure-fire indicator that you need to work on that one!
