When you see an employee struggling with a task you could do easily, it’s only natural to want to step in and help. But from the other side, this can feel more like micromanagement than support. And when leaders over-function by keeping too much work for themselves, they allow those around them to under-function. We all know how important it is to delegate — both to help employees grow and to create a more collaborative, empowered, productive team.

As an executive leadership coach who works with leaders around the world, I often hear leaders asking their employees a wide range of questions on a regular basis. However, some of these questions can be inappropriate or harmful to the work environment. To help leaders create a positive and supportive work environment for their teams, and establish healthy boundaries, I have compiled a list of questions that leaders should never ask of their employees.
