The Leadership Skill of Asking Better Questions

What if becoming a better leader starts with asking better questions?

In a recent episode of the Two Piers Podcast, UNH Certificate in Professional Coaching instructors Erica D’Eramo, Thea Charles and Bob Greene explore the power of questions in leadership and how shifting from “having the answers” to helping others think more clearly can build stronger teams, greater ownership, and better outcomes.

The conversation covers practical strategies for using open-ended questions, improving delegation, creating space for others to think, and avoiding questions that unintentionally lead people toward a predetermined answer. As Erica, Thea and Bob discuss, these skills aren't just valuable for professional coaches—they're essential leadership, communication, and relationship skills.
