Questions for a New Leader
In 1998, U.S. Navy Captain David Marquet was preparing to command a nuclear submarine. He spent months getting ready for this task. However, his superiors made a last-minute change.

Marquet created a series of questions to steer these first talks. With minor alterations, these are some of the questions that are suitable for any new leader:

What will be our biggest challenge?

1 Atom of Reflection
We see people and things not as they are, but as we are. That is why when two people look at something or someone, you get two different reactions. - Anthony de Mello
