## Resource

Most leaders are trained to have answers. Warren Berger believes the better leadership skill is learning how to ask the right questions. In Episode 21 of Everything They Don't Tell You , Josh Zolin sits down with Warren Berger, author of The Book of Beautiful Questions and A More Beautiful Question , to talk about the underestimated power of questioning in leadership, business, creativity, and life. Warren explains why questions are not just conversation tools. They are leadership tools. The right question can open someone up, reveal bottlenecks, challenge assumptions, and bring people into the mission. The wrong question can shut people down, create defensiveness, and turn a conversation into an interrogation. This episode covers curiosity, humility, listening, follow-up questions, mission questions, the "question sandwich," and why leaders need to stop treating answers as the only currency that matters. If you lead a team, run a business, manage people, or want to communicate with more clarity and depth, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership. __ ► Download Your 90 Day ROI Playbook — A value packed free guide created by Josh Zolin that teaches you how to Multiply Your Profits with the Skills No One Trains https://bitnw.academy/roiplaybook
