On Friday's we are taking look back at some of our thousand plus posts here at the Teams365 blog. Given yesterday's focus in Team Building Tip #120 on questions and the art of the one on one with staff, I thought it might be useful to revisit a post from last year which included 20 of my favorite questions for a one-on-one conversation.

One activity which can be useful tis to develop a list of questions which you can use in upcoming conversations. While you would never use all these at one tie, here’s 20 of my favorite:
- What’s the most important goal you are working on right now?
- What’s really important about that
- What could get in the way?
- What additional supports would help you be successful?
- What perspective are you in around x?
- What’s another perspective around that?
- What else?
- 3 adjectives that describe….
- If you were to make one change that made the biggest difference, what would it b?
- If you were to do something in the next 24 hours, what would that be?
- What impact would it have?
- What’s aligned?
- What’s not aligned?
- What would “wild Success” look like?
- What will help you focus?
- What’s our vision?
- What’s at the core?
- What is really important?
- Who is an ally for you in this?
- Imagine it is now 5 months down the road. How will be you know you have been successful?
