Unlocking Intercultural Agility with Marco Blankenburgh
Why Great Leaders Ask Better Questions | Not Better Answers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the quality of your leadership, relationships, and culture is determined by the quality of the questions you ask?
In this episode of Unlocking Intercultural Agility, Marco Blankenburgh is joined by leadership expert Bob Tiede, author of Great Leaders Ask Questions, to explore why asking better questions may be one of the most overlooked leadership skills.
Together, they discuss why curiosity builds trust, how questions create ownership instead of dependence, and why great leaders don't always have the answers, they create space for others to discover them.
The conversation also explores how better questions strengthen intercultural leadership, improve coaching conversations, deepen relationships, and even shape the way we work alongside AI in an increasingly complex world.
In this episode:
- Why great leaders ask more questions than they answer
- The difference between curiosity and assumption
- How questions build trust and ownership
- Coaching through questions instead of giving advice
- Asking better questions across cultures
- Why AI makes human curiosity even more valuable
- Practical ways to become a better listener and leader
If you're leading a team, coaching others, or working across cultures, this episode will challenge you to rethink one of the most powerful tools you already have: your questions.
