In this episode of Ask Don't Tell, Oscar Subirats sits down with leadership speaker and author Joel Worthington, creator of the Tell Me More philosophy, to unpack why asking better questions—not giving better directives—is the missing link in modern leadership. Joel breaks down how emotional intelligence, trust, and genuine curiosity transform disengaged employees into true followers, and why most organizations unknowingly sabotage themselves with fear-based communication.

Together, they explore how leadership is really about influence, energy, and connection—and why slowing down to ask one better question can change the trajectory of your team, your culture, and your results.

Key takeaways include:

• Why "Tell Me More" is the most powerful phrase a leader can use
• How directive leadership kills buy-in, energy, and trust
• Joel's GUIDE framework for leading with clarity, empathy, and strategy

If you want people who follow you—not just work for you—this conversation will challenge how you lead, listen, and show up every day.
