I had a parent treat me with these questions and facilitation, but never a boss. Maybe one day.

We trust you'll find one!

Remember that you don't have to be a boss to be a leader.

Opportunity will no doubt come your way to lead like this too!

It's great when the alignment of the team members goals match up with the organizational opportunities. Perhaps more managers don't ask these questions because they see that the answers would lead their team out the door. It is a shame... those who do ask and facilitate these questions create a lot of loyalty and motivation.

Too much self-interest from leaders who would be afraid to have these kinds of conversations?

I had a manager who asked me these kinds of questions even to the point of facilitating my friendly exit from the company. Have always thought of him as a guy who wasn't afraid to be a friend while being my supervisor... which always caused me to work very hard for him too.

Not sure why this isn't done more often.
