Leadership isn’t always about having all of the answers. Sometimes it’s about knowing the right questions. The following questions will help you work with your people to manage and improve their careers, and ultimately, their contribution to your organization.

• What is your career goal?
• What does “success” mean to you? (e.g., money, recognition, balance, position/title)
• What do you want to be known for?
• Are you contributing and growing?
• Are you in the right place?
• Position/role
• Organization/department
• Type of work
• Does your job align with the rest of your personal values?
• What is the next step?
• Do you need more experience? Do you need different types of
  experiences?
• Do you need more responsibility?
• What type of feedback do you need and who is in the best
  position to provide it?
• What types of formal or informal support do you
  need (coaching, training, books, etc.)
