We had an extended discussion on “asking the right questions” during our first-ever afternoon meeting of Bizbookclub. We focused most of our discussion on confronting people when a leader needs to.

Mr. Maxwell recommends that a leader should try to substitute “confront” with “clarify” if it is threatening to others. However, we agreed that some people and situations actually yield better results if confrontation is used tactically.

We then moved to an interesting sub-section on confrontation called “10 commandments of confrontation”. We had some very exciting segues into vital behaviors, core characteristics and other psychological aspects of humans. We generated a very exciting idea about vital behaviors during this side-conversation and I will dwell on that in future posts. As it is becoming a trend with our meetings, we could hardly get past 1 section of 1 chapter, albeit for a good reason. We concluded the meeting at the 8th of the 10 commandments.
