We’ve found is that the most high-impact managers make a regular habit of setting aside moments of reflection, putting in the deliberate time and work it takes to gain a new perspective on their teams, their cross-functional relationships and their own effectiveness from a higher altitude.
It got us thinking — there’s certainly plenty of content on the questions managers should be asking others, whether it’s questions to ask in a 1:1 with a direct report, questions to ask candidates in interviews, or questions to ask their own managers to make the delicate art of managing up a bit easier. But there’s not nearly as much advice on the questions managers should be asking themselves during critical moments of reflection.
To find impactful questions, we reached out to managers and leaders all across the First Round community for their take on this prompt: What are the questions managers should ask themselves on a regular basis?
We assembled a list of 35 questions for managers to ask themselves, covering everything from assessing their team’s performance, to managing up and cross-functionally and performing a self-check-up on their own wellbeing.
