They construct better working relations: Instead of "Did you make your sales goal?" ask, "How have sales been going?" 3. They help people think analytically and critically: "What are the consequences of going this route?" 4. They inspire people to reflect and see things in fresh, unpredictable ways: "Why did this work?" 5. They encourage breakthrough thinking: "Can that be done in any other way?" 6. They challenge assumptions: "What do you think you will lose if you start sharing responsibility for the implementation process?" 7.
