“micro-moments” — those seemingly insignificant opportunities to create better, deeper relationships.

To me it sounds like a cross between mindfulness (at least the very literal interpretation of “being in the moment”) and positive psychology (again quite literally “seeing the good in a situation”).

“Could passion be a barrier to success?”

Keiser and Kaplan’s article “Don’t let your strengths become your weaknesses” from the Harvard Business Review talks about the idea that any strength overplayed risks becoming a weakness. Considered in that light, I suggest there are some risks associated with being “too passionate”.

As leaders, asking great questions has become more critical than the pressure to know the answers.

Equally important is building that strong question muscle across our teams.

But what makes a question 'good'? How do we improve our skills over time?

Often, I hear leaders reflect with admiration on the questions asked by colleagues by saying, 'I wish I'd asked that' - but they rarely analyse the creation of the question, preferring to focus on the answer.
