In this episode of Questions and Conversations on Leadership and Life, Steve and Poli explore the crucial difference between advocacy and inquiry in communication. Drawing inspiration from Patrick Lencioni’s “The Advantage,” they discuss how leaders can move beyond simply stating opinions to fostering genuine dialogue through appreciative inquiry. The hosts share real-life stories, practical questions for reflection, and strategies for overcoming communication barriers, especially in challenging or “stuck” conversations. Whether you’re a formal leader or an everyday influencer, this episode offers valuable insights on how to model openness, create psychological safety, and drive meaningful change—one question at a time.
