The best leaders don’t engage in monologues; they stimulate conversations. They understand conversations are not competitions to be won, but opportunities to enrich, inspire, challenge, illuminate and learn. So, what makes for great dialogue? Great questions. Via Ariana Amorim, Kevin Watson

Now that we are in the second half of the last month of the year it’s time to reflect. Taking a little time to reflect is good for the soul, your life, and your business. Yesterday, as I wrapped up a group coaching assignment for the year, we did just that. We spent an hour reflecting with these questions:

Study, work hard, and you will be successful.
This was the mantra repeated by educators throughout my youth. None of them added "be happy" to the success equation.
But a growing body of research in positive psychology and neuroscience is demonstrating that happiness is the secret ingredient to success. It turns out, our brains are more engaged, creative, productive, and resilient when in a positive state.
All this unhappiness comes with a high price tag to businesses, costing more than $550 billion a year in lost productivity. In his book, Donovan identifies 60 simple steps individuals can take to improve their happiness and get back on the path to success. Here are six of the top things happy workers do:

Whitmore recommends going beyond the simple "How are you?" to ask open-ended questions that warrant more than a one-word response. The phrase she likes most: "Tell me." (Some examples: "Tell me about your weekend" or "Tell me, how did the two of you meet?")."Anytime you start a sentence with 'tell me,' it launches into scintillating conversation"

According to Mike Myatt, "The best leaders don’t engage in monologues; they stimulate conversations. They understand conversations are not competitions to be won, but opportunities to enrich, inspire, challenge, illuminate and learn. So, what makes for great dialogue? Great questions.
His belief is that the most powerful question of all is the one that works within the context of the situation at hand. The question must be appropriate to the person(s) being addressed, the timing must be spot-on, but most importantly it must unlock the door to reveal the needed input/feedback/information."

The ability to question effectively is often highly underrated but in many ways it is the single most important competency that we possess as leaders, parents and innovators. The art of asking the right questions at the right time can have a profound effect on people - just ask a good coach or an inventor.
Leaders often begin their careers feeling that they need to have all of the answers. In truth, the sooner they realise that they don't (and shouldn't feel they have to) and instead begin to ask questions and admit they don't know, the more effective they become as people leaders.
This article provides a list of useful questions to ask and reading through the list is stimulating - trying to understand why these questions are powerful is particularly interesting. But most of all leaders need to learn how to ask the right questions so that choosing the right questions is a skill that comes naturally.

In a recent episode of the new ABC drama Mind Games, one of the characters mentions an interesting personality trait that defines the most popular people: They more readily admit their weaknesses rather than waiting for them to be revealed over time. The show is about using cunning tricks to manipulate others and ensure a positive outcome, so it's a bit ridiculous, but there's truth in the observation.
In the office, it's possible to exhibit traits that help you to be more likable. In my years as a corporate manager and developing my writing career, I've noticed when people appear more likable, and I've tried to develop these traits myself. Here are a few to cultivate. Via The Learning Factor
