Jim Fielding spent 35 years leading teams at Disney, DreamWorks, Fox, and Gap. One day a trusted team leader pulled him aside and said, "Jim, we know you're going to make the call. Could you let us make it first?" That one sentence landed harder than any feedback he had ever received. He had been asking questions he had already answered in his head, and the room knew. It woke him up, and he changed his style. Ask for An Answer is where he keeps practicing: Community and Conversation with interesting humans who believe that asking better questions is more important than having all of the answers. On Thursdays, Jim sits down with the leaders who feed his constant curiosity for unscripted conversations about showing up as a whole person while still delivering results. Each episode includes Ask on Purpose: one question from someone who knows the guest well.
