Tip 10
Ask open questions without anger if your advisers tell you something you REALLY don't want to hear.
How?
Take a deep breath, count to 10 and then listen. A good way to listen is to ask open questions and then keep quiet while your advisers answer. Ask questions such as:
- What are the facts?
- What will happen if I follow your advice?
- What will happen if I don't?
- What other options are there?
- What difference will following your advice make to achieving my vision and my desired results?
