Marketing shortlist

Hi there 👋

Hope your week is off to a great start.

I like to think that one of the most important management skills is the ability to ask good questions. I'm lucky to have eight teammates who put up with my questions week-in and week-out. Here are 51 of my very favorite things to ask in 1:1s, surveys, and reviews.

Examples:

• When was the time you enjoyed working here the most?

• Do you feel overworked, underworked, or just the right workload?

• Have you seen something recently and thought to yourself, “I wish we’d done that”?

Below, I've listed some of my favorite articles about marketing and management that I've come across in the past few weeks.

I hope this week is full of great things for you,
Kevan
