“What’s it like to work for the boss?” One of my all-time favorite questions. I ask it in 360s, interviews, even casual coffees. It consistently delivers more insight than anything else I ask. People say—and don’t say—all sorts of invaluable things. Years ago, I asked a leader this question. They paused, then said: “Very demanding. Incredibly rewarding. I think [NAME] is the highest-paid person in this industry… and I think they deserve way more.” Let that sit for a second. Now consider: What would people say if someone asked this about you?
