  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Bob’nJoyce share thought-provoking question for leaders and HR/OD practitioners. Some questions come from Gallup consulting, and the rest from Joyce’s own writings.

&lt;p&gt;Spoiler Alert!!!! Here is the list of Joyce's touchstone Leadership Questions:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;— Would you do the same job for half the salary?&lt;br&gt;
— Do you have something preposterously important you want to get done?&lt;br&gt;
— Do you think about ‘better’ or ‘different’?&lt;br&gt;
— Do you look forward to developing, thinking with, being demanding of, &lt;br&gt;
infusing with enthusiasm, your direct reports?&lt;br&gt;
— Does the idea of contact with the core of your business excite you or&lt;br&gt;
bore you?&lt;br&gt;
—Do you take reality into serious consideration but not bow to it?&lt;br&gt;
—When people see you coming, do they want to do good work and after you leave, do they want to do their best work?&lt;br&gt;
— Do you often realize that you owe your privileged role to every person in your company and does it make you determined to make them proud of you?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Some of these I know grabed your attention and interest so...&lt;br&gt;
Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome! &lt;/p&gt;
