62  The Most Underrated Leadership Question?

“How can I make your day better?”

It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s one of the most overlooked ways to lead with impact – at work and at home.

Too often, we assume we know what others need.
But this one question cuts through the noise – and gets straight to what matters.

đź’ˇ Ask a team member:

You’ll learn what’s getting in their way – and make them feel supported, not just managed.

đź’ˇ Ask your boss:

You’ll uncover what’s most important right now – and show that you think beyond your to-do list.

đź’ˇ Ask your partner:

You’ll connect before reacting – and build trust in the moments that actually shape your day-to-day relationship.

✨  It’s not about fixing everything. It’s about showing up with presence, clarity, and intent.
✨  Ask.
Then pause. Really listen. That one moment might change more than you think.

🎯 Try This Today:

🔹  Block 2 minutes in your calendar each morning this week.
🔹  Use it to ask one person, a team member, your boss, or someone at home: “What can I do to make today easier for you?”
🔹  Consider making it a habit, not a one-off.
✅  One question a day. Real impact, compounding results.
