PURPOSE OF MEETING
In every meeting, ideas are shared and issues are discussed before solutions and actions can be
found.
BUT
Some important flaws in a meeting are:-
 Talk festivals
 Mono derail
 Premature activation
HOW BETTER QUESTIONS HELP
 They help in preparing and making the participants to think of the issue.
 They focus on people thinking towards a specific purpose and creates an anchor that people can
use to stay on track in fulfilling the meeting purpose.
 Creates an opening for a response from people to explore and engage.
 The most effective questions create value in one or more of the following ways:
1. They construct better working relations: Instead of "Did you make your sales goal?" ask, "How have
sales been going?"
2. They help people think analytically and critically: "What are the consequences of going this route?
3. They inspire people to reflect and see things in fresh, unpredictable ways: "Why did this work?
4. They encourage breakthrough thinking: "Can that be done in any other way?"
