2 Clarifying Questions for Leaders

June 16, 2014

1. Why does this really matter to me?

2. What do I really want?

When a leader gets clear on these 2 things, everything else falls into place.

Try it.

Think of a goal you are pursuing.
A project.
A sales goal.
A revenue threshold.
A weight loss goal.

Now, ask the 1st question:

Why does the project matter?

Why does the sales goal matter?

Why do I want to lose 12 pounds by Labor Day?

Now, ask the 2nd one:

What do I really want this project to do for me?

What do I really want this sales goal to do for me?

What do I really hope losing 12 pounds will do for me?
