Directive v Non-directive – Where do you sit?

Where do you spend most of your time when chatting to people in your team?
Directive is quicker, but if you keep telling people what to do they will forever keep on coming back to you for the answer 🤔
Before diving in with advice, why not ask a few open questions that might get them thinking. More importantly, you’ll be helping them to come up with the answer themselves, and lets be honest they probably know the answer anyway 😉
Here’s a few questions you might ask:
💡What do you think you should do next?
💡What might the consequences be?
💡How might they react? How might you react?
💡On a scale of 1-10, how serious, or urgent is it?
💡What’s your priority?
💡What’s the main thing concerning you about this situation?
💡What help do you need from me?
These types of questions will help you to be a little more non-directive 👊
