Humble Inquiry, Second Edition: The Gentle Art of Asking Instead of Telling (The Humble Leadership Series)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. 2nd Revised edition. Language: English. Brand new Book. This worldwide bestseller offers simple guidance for building the kind of open and trusting relationships vital for tackling global systemic challenges and developing adaptive, innovative organizations--over 200,000 copies sold and translated into seventeen languages! We live, say Edgar and Peter Schein, in a culture of "tell." All too often we tell others what we think they need to know or should do. But whether we are leading or following, what matters most is we get to the truth. We have to develop a commitment to sharing vital facts and identifying faulty assumptions--it can mean the difference between success and failure. This is why we need Humble Inquiry more than ever. The Scheins define Humble Inquiry as "the gentle art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building relationships based on curiosity and interest in the other person." It was inspired by Edgar's twenty years of work in high-hazard industries and the health-care system, where honest communication can literally mean the difference between life and death. In this new edition the authors look at how Humble Inquiry differs from other kinds of inquiry, offer examples of it in action, and show how to overcome the barriers that keep us telling when we should be asking. This edition offers a deepening and broadening of this concept, seeing it as not just a way of posing questions but an entire attitude that includes better listening, better responding to what others are trying to tell us, and better revealing of ourselves. Packed with case examples and a full chapter of exercises and simulations, this is a major contribution to how we see human conversational dynamics and relationships, presented in a compact, personal, and eminently practical way.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We live, say Ed and Peter Schein, in a culture of "tell." Rather than trying to genuinely relate to other people, we tell them what we think they need to know or should do. This is particularly problematic between superiors and subordinates because those in charge all too often fail to recognize the fatal flaw that could mean the difference between success or disaster. Humble Inquiry encourages honest and open interactions, stimulates creative thinking, and protects against costly misunderstandings and mistakes. Ed and Peter Schein define Humble Inquiry as "the fine art . of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person." In this seminal work, the authors look at how Humble Inquiry differs from other kinds of inquiry, offer stories of it in action, and show how to overcome the cultural, organizational, and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it. This second edition has been updated throughout with new examples and exercises to illuminate how a lack of Humble Inquiry is at the root of so many modern organizational problems. Book jacket.
