Every leader wants to know how to deliver results. Sometimes, it can be as easy as asking one simple question.
In this solo episode, I share how I, and many others, have had success leading teams using the question, "Who needs to do what by when?"
It's not complex or hard to ask this question. But, sometimes we forget the most basic solutions to helping our teams deliver results.
Well, I do anyway.
And, that may be the case for you too.
If it is, check out this episode where I not only explain the power behind this simple question. I also open up about why I sometimes avoid doing what I know should do: asking who needs to do what by when.

3 Fundamental Career Skills Related to Today's Episode
1. Being clear and specific
Asking the question, "Who needs to do what by when?" requires a leader and a team to get clear and specific. A thoughtful answer that will produce results takes an investment of mental energy and focus.
The act of asking this question will help you and others clarify the resources required to be successful and secure the commitment of the team and organization.
2. Being vulnerable
Being vulnerable to admit you aren't perfect as a leader and are susceptible to the dangers of following your ego and pride isn't a sign of weakness.
It's an indicator of strength.
Admitting to your team that you are a flawed human being will earn the respect of the people you are leading. Because they too are imperfect humans.
3. Trusting your team
Vulnerability is made possible by trust. As you learn to trust the people on your team, you will find it easier to be more authentic and real with them.
And, you will also find it easier to share responsibilities and tasks with them. As you do that, they will be given increased opportunities to grow and develop as leaders and you can focus on tasks that only you can do.
