Humble Inquiry

As we explore The Beatitudes from Jesus Christ’s Sermon on the Mount throughout 2018, the most recent one is “Blessed are the meek.”  What leadership principle best exemplifies this particular beatitude?

In one of my leadership tips, I encourage leaders to “Ask Questions…Don’t Give Answers.”  Similarly, John Maxwell notes that Good Leaders Ask Great Questions.

Another book makes a similar point.  Edgar Schein’s Humble Inquiry explains the gentle art of asking instead of telling.  It’s a great resource for leaders to put “meekness” into practice.
