When Your Spouse Stops Being Your Project; One of Four Things to Know This Week, March 26, 2026

A Word to the Wise by Mac Lake
 
While answers can solve problems. Questions develop leaders.
Great leaders resist the urge to fix—and choose to coach.
So here’s something you can try this week:
In one conversation, replace your answer with a question:

• “What do you think?”
• “What’s your next step?”
• “What did you learn?”

It might feel slower at first. But it’s actually how leaders grow faster.
Because when people think, process, and act for themselves, they begin to lead—not just follow.
