The Power of Questions

Questions are impactful yet under-used tools. They can raise issues and shift thinking faster than any business case will. Have you noticed that many times having a great business case with all the advantages and benefits doesn’t work? You end up doing a point and counterpoint, often resulting in frustration for both sides and you wondering why they don’t get it!
A question like, “What might you be risking if you do this?” or “What are your concerns about this?”  may promote thinking and open new possibilities.
