The Surprising Power of Questions  Alison Wood Brooks & Leslie K John, Harvard Business Review, May-June 2018 issue

“Much of an executive’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few executives think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive.”

I appeared remotely whilst Bob and Joseph were there in person.
