Drops of Dewey

The Open-Ended Question Rule


Listen Later

Today, host Laura Dewey delves into the transformative power of open-ended questions in both parenting and leadership. Drawing from her expertise, Laura shines a light on our natural tendency to immediately jump in and fix any concerns brought to us in these roles, and offers an alternative approach.

Laura encourages listeners to challenge themselves by asking two open-ended questions before instinctively intervening as parents or leaders. By doing so, we create a space for deeper understanding and connection. Instead of assuming we know what the person is saying or what they need, these open-ended questions allow us to truly engage in the conversation at hand, which may reveal surprising insights different from our initial assumptions.

Tune in to Drops of Dewey and discover the transformative impact of incorporating open-ended questions into your parenting and leadership practices. Challenge yourself to listen deeply, ask thought-provoking questions, and embark on a journey of enriched relationships and even more effective leadership.
