• Where is the team going,and how will it get there?
• How does the team win,and how does it contribute to the broader organization's success?
• How does the speaker define leadership?
• What gets the speaker excited about being a leader?
• What are the speaker's key values? In other words,what are the leader's expectations for team members,and what will she or he not tolerate as a leader?
