Leading questions
Simply put, leading questions are your answers with a question mark tackled on to the end for good measure. Often, people ask these questions with the best of intentions, trying to provide insight or options, but in actuality, leading questions limit the creativity and ability of your employees to come up with their own solutions. Some example:
Have you ever considered getting some training in the new software?
Can you think of any reason why you wouldn’t want to share resources with Bill?
Couldn’t you come in at another time and take care of the paperwork then?
