What is on YOUR peoples' minds? Do they always tell you?

There is a quote in this week's Business Week from Frank Blake, CEO of Home Depot, when asked about leadership:

"..to what extent do people feel comfortable saying what's on their minds?"

Ask yourself that question about your colleagues. Ask them if you are not sure about what their answers would be. If there is some hesitancy in their answer ASK THEM how the air can be cleared so much between the two of you where there is no hesitancy.
