The director of the Leadership Center in MIT, which is part of the Thinkers50 thinker rating, tells how correct issues can lead to solving problems in business and life.
What if the ideal solution to the painful issue - at work, at home, in relations with neighbors - can I find by changing the question itself? Almost any specialist in the creative solution of problems will tell you: the secret of success is to formulate a new question.
A striking example: social entrepreneur Debby Sterling, founder of Goldieblox, producing designers for girls. She had this idea when she and her friend talked about how few women choose the profession of an engineer, and Debbie suddenly wondered: “Why are all the cool designers oriented to boys?” The Nobel Laureate in the field of the economy Richard Thaler asked himself: "Will the economic theory change if we stop pretending that our behavior is rational?" And Jeff Bezos, whose bold approach to solving problems from year to year contributes to the rapid growth of Amazon, notes: A correctly formulated question is the secret of the correct answer.
Such issues serve as catalysts: they eliminate obstacles for creative thinking and direct the process of searching for solutions for a new channel. Often, when the correct question is pronounced aloud, it is amazing, on the one hand, by his surprise, and on the other, it is evident.
The guru of innovation and leadership Hal Gregersen always understood how important the questions were, but it took him several years to ask himself: since there are so much questions on extraordinary questions, is it time to find out how to ask them? This was the beginning of a study, for which, in particular, he interviewed more than two hundred of our contemporaries, known for creative thinking. Gregersen sets out the results in the book "Questions - these are answers", where he talks about the conditions in which catalyst questions appear (and, therefore, breakthrough ideas!) And how anyone can master this skill.
For whom the book
For managers and leaders who want to create an atmosphere where employees are not afraid to talk about problems, offer solutions and express ideas.
For those who are searching for atypical ideas and new, more effective solutions.
For those who want to eliminate obstacles for thinking (such as excessively narrow beliefs) and redirect creative energy to a more productive direction.
For everyone who wants to learn how to ask the right questions, develop and change for the better.
For everyone who is at a dead end in any field of life and wants to get out of it.
