Leading Question is the type of question that implicitly encourages a respondent to answer in a particular way. Leading questions are generally inappropriate as they lead to false and slanted information.

for example: If you ask an employee that "Do you have any Problem with your boss?"

This questions explicitly encourages the employee to think that there are Problems.
