Ask, Discover, Learn, and Decide - By Rick Williams

Asking questions is the path to discovery. As the leader of your organization, you must make decisions. Before you choose the best next steps, your job is to lead your team as it discovers what is really going on and the options you have.
Forbes India recently published an interview they did with me discussing the leadership principles in my new book Create the Future. The full article is HERE.
I outline the Create the Future Thinking Cycle.
Too often leaders believe they know what is going on, when they don’t, or perhaps they are afraid to ask questions and reveal they don’t know what is happening.
I encourage you to be comfortable with the CTF creative cycle: Ask questions, Discover from the answers, Learn from what you discover, and Decide with a more complete understanding of the issues and your options.
I am proud of the support Create the Future has gotten in India.
R. Gopalakrishnan, best selling author of The Case of the Bonsai Manager and The Biography of Innovations, endorsed the book saying, “Create the Future presents a modern version of timeless and valuable principles that are too often forgotten.”
