How to Get What You Want

Here are six questions you should ask your best people regularly:

1. Where do you want to be career-wise one year from now?                                            
2. What are the two or three things that need to happen to make this a reality?
3. What is standing in your way now? What obstacles do you see?
4. How will you overcome what is standing in your way?
5. How can I help you make this goal a reality?
6. Who else can help you achieve your goal?

When you help your people get what they want, they will unfailingly help you get what you want.
