Questions Are Your Power Tools

Writer: Leslie NydickLeslie Nydick

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.
