Questions are crucial in discovering the valuable information needed in making ongoing decisions in guiding your company to success. Every executive needs a quiver of questions helping detect and discern insights for remarkable results.
What's working and what's not working?
This question discovers the things that will take you into the future and the things you need to drop. Too many businesses are beating dead horses while missing the wave to their future.
Who's working and who's not working?
This question discovers your true team-players and your deadbeats. Reward the workers and fire the shirkers.
If our company tripled in size over the next ten years, do you have any clues as to the new ideas or reasons we would grow so quickly?
Every product (chair, desk, computer, etc.) that you can see, began as an idea in someone's head. Increase the production of great ideas.
What are the best ideas you've heard from others or thought of by yourself … that would make us a better company?
The best and the brightest will be drawn to companies that create a culture of caring.
Does your supervisor inspire you to love your job?
Jesus didn't pay any of his employees, yet thousands worked for him - why? Inspired people live to work!
If you were in my shoes (the owner) what product, service, team, department, etc. would you judge as “dead weight”?
This question discovers the hidden weaknesses (and agendas).
What do our customers grumble most about?
This question seeks to discover the ability of your employee in understanding the needs of your customers.
