Questions Are Your Power Tools

A well-crafted question isn’t just a request for information, it’s an invitation to a meaningful conversation.

Pro Tip: Ask open, thought-provoking questions, free of judgment and limitations.

• Instead of: "Don’t you think this is a good idea?”

  Try: “What do you think about this idea?”

  
  

• Instead of: “Why are you always late with your reports?”

  Try: “How can we support you in completing the reports?”

  
  

• Instead of: “Don’t you already have the information I provided for the project?”

  Try: “What’s the best way for me to provide the information you need?”

The way we frame a question is a power tool, so let’s sharpen it.
