One of the most important aspects of driving change in a team or as a change manager is asking the right questions, but is there any worth in repeating questions previously asked? Lee believes asking the same question in the right setting and with the right intent can benefit you as a leader of people and change and he explains why. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lee asks weekly ‘how have you felt this week?’ and ‘what one thing that’s noteworthy have you learnt this week?’
Consistently asked questions over time can mean a more in-depth and heartfelt response as time goes on as the responder feels safer in their environment. 
A follow-up question as simple as ‘and what else?’ can challenge someone to think deeper about the answer they have just given and elaborate. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Every single Friday morning we have a little ‘reflection section’. It’s a small team and we sit around a table and I’ve asked for the last ten weeks the same two questions.’ 

‘Over a course of ten weeks, boy, can I tell you the conversations have developed and have changed.’ 

‘Fundamentally it’s about making sure you have clarity of intent of what it is, you create a safe space for people to think.’
