Original caption

Why the Best Leaders Never Answer Your Questions The best leaders don't solve your problems; they force you to solve them yourself! If your boss always gives you the answer, they are making you weak. Simon Sinek reveals that his greatest mentor refused to answer a single question, forcing him to dig deep and figure it out. True leadership isn't about giving answers; it's about teaching self-reliance. Stop asking for the solution and become resourceful #leadership #businesssecrets #ceomindset #founderhacks #corporate

Transcript

He wouldn't answer a single question. It was so annoying. I'd be like, 'Peter, this happened, what should I do?' He'd be like, 'I don't know, what do you think you should do?' I'm like, 'Well, I think we should do this.' He goes, 'Well, then you should try that, shouldn't you?' What he taught me was self-reliance. What he taught me was to to be more resourceful and ask more questions and go dig. And then if you come up with something, try, try in a little bit to experiment, you know? But yeah, he wouldn't fix anything for me. It was annoying. So annoying. It sounds so annoying.
