Below is a link to article from an Air Force officer on using the Socratic Method to lead your subordinates. I had not read anything on this take before and thought it was interesting.
The Socratic Method: Leveraging Questions to Increase Performance
It would take quite a bit of practice to incorporate this into your leadership repertoire, but could be an extremely valuable tool to have in the toolbox.
This link was found by running a query for Socratic Method in the Google US Government portion of their browser.
My apologies. For some reason, posting a link that navigates to a *.pdf file does not want to seem to work in wordpress. Below is the link. If you’re interested, copy and paste the link into your browser, and take a look. I think you’ll find it a worthwhile read.
