Asking is Better Than Telling: The Science and Practice of Leading with Questions

Given the many purposeful organizational missions, complex problems, and critical decisions that are part of today's workplace, skilled questioning techniques need to permeate every level of the organization. But how can we become better questioners? When we look at the work of great leaders, when we examine the incredible achievements of some average teams, when we experience the gifts of a great mentor, we observe that what makes them successful is NOT by what they tell us, but by the questions they ask. Leaders, project managers, supervisors, executive coaches, innovators, and consultants succeed because they ask the questions that revise old patterns of thought, foster innovation, and resolve persistent conflicts. Asking is Better Than Telling provides a unique look into why questions work the way that do, describes a questioning sequence that enhances the power of the question, and provides over 100 questions with their corresponding purpose that will enhance the reader's questioning prowess. It is a must-read and highly applicable book designed for anyone tasked with leading people to adopt change, foster innovation, and make collaborative decisions.
