Description
Every great achievement starts with a question.
If questions wield such enormous power, why do our peak question-asking years top out around age four?
What are the contributing factors? More important, what steps can we take to re-learn and apply this valuable leadership skill?
Whether you're an aspiring leader or a seasoned executive, this book will give you the confidence to embrace the counterintuitive truth: when you overcome the urge to tell and instead ask a question, you put yourself in control by gently guiding the conversation.
This book examines:
- The 7 types of questions, when to use them, when to avoid them
- The framework for asking great questions
- A speedy way to raise your questions to a new level of insightfulness
- More than 1,000 questions in 20 categories essential to business and life
High-performing leaders create an environment where questions are welcomed because asking great questions changes conversations. And when you change the conversation, you can change a colleague's performance and an organization's culture.
