Much of an executive's workday is spent Asking others for advice --requesting status updates from a team leader, for instance, or

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

are taught how to ask questions as an important part of their training, few executives consider questioning as a skill that could

be honed--or believe how their own answers to queries could make conversations more effective.

That's a missed opportunity. Questioning is A uniquely powerful tool for unlocking value in associations: It spurs learning and

the exchange of thoughts, it hastens innovation and performance improvement, it builds awareness and trust among staff members.

And it can mitigate business risk by uncovering unforeseen pitfalls and dangers.

For many folks, questioning comes readily. However, the majority of us don't ask enough questions, nor do we present our queries

in an optimal way.

The goodnews is that by asking questions, We naturally improve our emotional intelligence, which in turn causes us better

questioners--a virtuous cycle. In this article, we draw insights from behavioral science research to research the way the way we

frame questions and decide to answer our counterparts may influence the results of talks. We offer advice for selecting the ideal

kind, tone, sequence, and framing of questions and for deciding what and how much information to share to reap the most benefit

from our interactions, not just for ourselves but for our associations.
