The Key to Effective Leadership – The Leadership Project Podcast

September 3, 2025

Managing Partner Gary Cohen joined The Leadership Project podcast to explore a deceptively simple idea: leaders don’t need to have all the answers—they need to ask better questions. In other words, the key to effective leadership

In this conversation, Gary shares why “answer-driven leadership” creates bottlenecks and dependency, while curiosity-driven leadership unlocks ownership, self-sufficiency, and innovation. He introduces his GPS and PEAK models to ensure questions carry purpose, and explains how his “Z method” helps leaders surface new perspectives that might otherwise remain hidden.

At the heart of his message is a powerful truth: the best leaders don’t build control, they build capacity—one question at a time. Click here to learn the key to effective leadership on your favorite platform!
