Being Teachable Towards Others: Ask Great Questions
April 20, 2009 Leave a comment
Recently I had the opportunity to hang out with Andy Stanley, who in my opinion is one of most influential and innovative pastors in the world. Not a bad communicator either! He was coming to our church to speak and I had a list of questions for him. But when I picked him up from the airport he turned it around on me and beat me to it. He was asking me tons of questions about our church and my family. Brilliant. He wrote book called the The Best Question Ever. Go buy it.
We can learn so much just by asking the right questions. If you meet with someone don’t expect them to teach you something. Tell them what you want to learn from them. Ask them great questions.
Questions For Others:
What can I work on?
What strengths/weaknesses do you see in me?
Questions For Yourself (I ask myself these questions everyday almost intuitively now):
Am I growing and gaining wisdom?
Am I becoming more Christ-like?
Am I becoming a better leader?
Am I humble and submitted to God?
