David Wheatley on the discipline of asking quality questions

FLG_S2_E19 www.forleadersglobal.com    David Wheatley on the discipline of asking quality questions   Are you the hero or are you the guide? People may think leadership and management is earned by purely having more life experience or more stories to share. However, experience and stories do not translate directly into healthy leadership and management practices. David Wheatley communicates on the power of using quality questioning to be able to be a helpful guide for others, instead of being the hero.   On this episode, you’ll hear about how and when to use quality questioning, and what type of questions could be helpful for progress. If you or your team is stuck, or if you’ve realised your good desires might be getting in the way of your growth, the framework that David offers could be key in helping challenge and reframe the next step to take. This show is for those wanting to actually develop and build a new discipline of quality questioning. Some of the positive outcomes of practising this skill range from being able to pinpoint issues and challenges while preventing the turmoil of staff turnover, to being a genuinely considerate and helpful listener while drawing out the best in yourself and others.   ABOUT DAVID WHEATLEY: https://humanergy.com/   David works with leaders who are engaged in transitions to new roles, new scope or improved results.

David’s recent work includes facilitating the national leadership of a federal law enforcement agency, coaching credit union CEOs through mergers, supporting the rebuilding of a manufacturing leadership team and working with a nationally recognized hospital as it goes through significant leadership transition. To challenge their thinking and push them ahead, David asks clients the right questions at the right time. He supports organizations through strategic planning and helps them overcome roadblocks using a framework of values-based commitment and stakeholder mapping.

In his spare time, David plays soccer and the guitar, both badly, in his opinion. He lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan with Launda and whichever of their four children happen by. David and Launda spend free time exploring nature as they hike near their home. They recently completed an Atlantic crossing on a 39-foot sailboat, with the help of two fellow sailors, and look forward to more adventures at sea.   For Leaders Global Resources:  www.forleadersglobal.com   Helping Organisations Build Leaders Worth Following & Culture Worth Reproducing Transforming Team Communication Program: The Exceptional Team Leader Executive Leadership Coaching Culture Formation & Development  To get in contact with us and talk about how we can help you build leaders worth, dynamic teams and culture worth reproducing email us here: [email protected] or head to our website.
