The most effective leadership framework I've ever used, I didn't find in a boardroom. I built it at my kitchen table — for nine-year-olds.

Every night at six o'clock, before anyone picked up a fork, my kids knew four questions were coming. I thought I was making dinner. I was building leaders.

In this first episode of Humanity Leads, executive coach and 20-year technology leader Tanner Bechtel breaks down a simple, repeatable leadership framework — four questions that quietly build self-awareness, accountability, gratitude, and a genuine instinct to serve. Then he shows why the sharpest leaders ask the same four questions of themselves, their teams, and anyone they're trying to develop.

The four questions:

1. What are you most proud of?
2. What would you change?
3. What are you grateful for?
4. What did you do to help someone?

The thesis underneath it all: the best leadership frameworks aren't invented in conference rooms — they come from being a good human first. As work gets more automated and more uncertain, the leaders who know how to measure their humanity, not just their output, are the ones this decade will belong to.

Your challenge this week: pick one of the four questions and ask it in your next 1:1. Then notice what changes.

If this resonated, subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss the next episode — and leave a comment with the question you're going to ask first.
