What's up everyone, this is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning

Brew.

Today I am talking about how the greatest leaders ask the best questions.

Let's hop into it.

So I was listening to a podcast interview last night, and it was with Keith Reboy, who

is the co-founder of Open Door, he's the co-founder of Open Store, and he's a general partner

at Founders Fund.

And Keith was talking on this show about how one of his co-founders, I believe, for Open

Door, was an incredible judge of talent in the interview process.

Like he made a point of saying how this co-founder would walk into interviews with candidates,

and he would just have a spidey sense of if the person was good or not.

And I just thought that was so incredibly cool to have basically this secret weapon in

your company where you have someone who walks into an interview, not knowing really anything

about a candidate, and then they walk out of one knowing if they are the person for

the job or not.

And so that led me down a rabbit hole around the art of questioning.

And I wondered to myself, what did this co-founder of Keith ask in the interview process that

gave him such high quality information or signs to be such a good judge of talent?

And more than that, I asked myself, how can we all learn to ask the right questions

since some of the best leaders that I have worked with in my life, they are incredible

at asking really good questions.

But first, I want you to understand why asking great questions is so incredibly important.
