Communications Insight For More Inspiring Leaders A Classic Mistake

A Classic Mistake

Classic Mistake
 
Here’s a classic mistake when asking a question of a speaker.

To ask two? Or three? Or even four? All packed into one? As if a mini-speech which no-one else in the room is really interested in. They just want an answer from the speaker.

To the one question.

Not four.

Short, clear, single-minded questions invariably yield the most revealing answers.

What’s yours?

What I've appreciated most has been the increased thought the team has been putting into how they come across and what they say. Colleagues in other teams have already commented on the improvement in both skills and confidence.
