Ask The Right Questions

Ask The Right Questions

In deciding to leave my comfortable corporate VP job at Pillsbury to start over at Burger King, the right question was, 'Will this put me in a better position to become president of a business?' I did not ask myself how hard the new job would be, what my friends would think if they saw me making hamburgers in a quick service restaurant, or what I would do if this new position did not work out as planned. These last three questions were not the right questions for a CEO of SELF. I was focused on my dream.

Some decisions can be made in more than one way, or they can be subdivided into incremental decisions. Either way, the process begins with asking the right questions.

If the right questions are not asked, then the real problems - the biggest problems - will go unsolved.
