#0379 – The Answer Is a Question: A Radical Shift in How to Lead with Laura and Dominic Ashley-Timms

from Deep Leadership · host Jon S. Rennie

Today, I’m joined by Laura and Dominic Ashley-Timms, and we're discussing their new book, The Answer Is a Question. Laura learned about the power of coaching from her early career in international table tennis and from coaching others at Oxford University, where she was one of the first women to enter Oriel College. She is now recognized as a global leader in coaching. Dominic studied for a degree in Ergonomics and later earned an EMBA from IMD in Lausanne as part of his management consulting career. He has built an expertise and passion for the “human side of change.” Laura and Dominic recently co-authored the bestselling management book The Answer is a Question - The Missing Superpower that Changes Everything and Will Transform Your Impact as a Manager and Leader, which won Distinguished Favorite at the NYC Big Book Awards in 2023. For the last two decades, they’ve been the visionaries behind Notion, a performance improvement consultancy, and a new approach to management called Operational Coaching®. I’m excited to have them on the show to talk about how the Answer is a Question.
