Summary

You don’t have to be an expert to be a great manager, but you must have a great management paradigm! This book is the roadmap you need to transition from expert “doer” to great manager. Developed from 45 years of managing everything from nuclear power plants to doctors’ conventions, Tom Gehring’s Socratic Management Paradigm reverses traditional management thinking. Instead of focusing on knowing all the right answers - impossible in this complex world - this book shows you how to ask of your team the right fundamental questions and how to recognize typical wrong answers.

This book will guide you to:

  • Know the essential questions to ask of your team,
  • Thoughtfully follow-up on their responses,
  • Recognize answers that are red flags, and
  • Know how and where to find correct answers.

Four real-world case studies demonstrate the implementation of this revolutionary management paradigm.

Asking questions of others is not enough to be a great manager. You must also know the questions you ask and answer of yourself to reinforce six critical traits/habits of great managers.

Anecdotes and examples from the author’s military and civilian career bring to life the questions and answers.
