Maxwell wants to help you become the smartest leader you can be by sharing Chapter 25,You Only Get Answers To The Questions You Ask, of Leadership Gold with you.

THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK
Confidence can be defined as that uplifting, energizing, positive feeling that you possess—before you truly understand your situation. After graduating from college, I went into my first job with great confidence. I felt I was ready to take on the challenge of leading a small congregation. I thought it would be easy. But then I faced the reality of leading volunteers. It was so frustrating. I found out that I was not ready for the task. And I had no clue how to get ready.
I had so many questions, but my biggest problem was that my ego would not allow me to ask them. Instead, I pretended to know what I was doing.

But here’s the really good news: when you know the right questions and go to the right people with them, you will ultimately get the right answers!
THE QUEST FOR THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Not everyone discovers this secret. I read a hilarious story about three very competitive brothers who left home to make their fortunes, and each of them did very well. One day when they were all together, they started to brag about the gifts they had recently given to their elderly mother.
The first said, “I built Mom a big house.”
The second said, “Well, I got her the best Mercedes they make along with her own driver.”
“I’ve got you both beat,” said the third. “You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can’t see very w...
