That's a Great Question: Are You Asking the Right Questions in Business? In Life? (Paperback or Softback)

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.
