how to care for an orchid Much of an executive workday is spent Asking others for information--asking status updates from a team leader, by way of example,

or questioning a counterpart at a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and physicians, who

That is a missed opportunity. Questioning is A uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in organizations: It spurs learning and
also the exchange of thoughts, it fuels innovation and performance improvement, it builds awareness and trust among staff members.
And it may mitigate business risk by discovering unforeseen pitfalls and dangers.

perfect query on the tip of the tongue. However, most of us don't ask enough questions, nor do we pose our queries in an optimal
manner. 
We naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn causes us better questioners--a virtuous cycle. In this guide, we
draw insights from behavioral science research to research the way the way we frame questions and decide to reply our counterparts
can influence the results of conversations. We provide guidance for selecting the ideal kind, tone, arrangement, and framing of
questions and for determining what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit from our interactions, not only for
ourselves but also for our organizations.
