Being a successful leader isn't about having all the answers; it's about asking the right questions.

In this episode, Eric brings together conversations with top executives to explore the questions that shape great leadership.

Years ago, Eric Becker ran a contest with 80 board members and 20 CEOs and asked them: "What's the best question you've ever asked or been asked?" The winning response was one that has stayed with Eric ever since: "What am I tolerating that I shouldn't be?"

That question became both a personal practice and a powerful lens for leadership and decision-making.

This conversation focuses on how asking the right one can unlock clarity, drive performance, and spark meaningful change.

Key Takeaways:

Why great leadership starts with self-awareness and honest reflection.
How the best leaders challenge assumptions and uncover blind spots.
Why purpose-driven leadership creates long-term resilience and impact.
How asking better questions leads to clearer decisions and stronger outcomes.
