A lot of this is affirmation but there are the occasional gems. Like the stark research that shows that teachers ask all the questions, students do not. A problem that needs change.

I agree. Questions ARE the answer. I realize that sounds vague by itself, but this is an approach to life I've subscribed to for the past decade. This book, however, is a little thin beyond that. The author, to his credit, does give plenty of examples which are necessary to fully explore the power of questions. I just think the lesson is diluted when stretched to book length.

The setup is relatively simple. Instead of focusing on the right answers, find the right question instead. This effectively reframes the question, and in doing so might lead you to a different, but better answer. Understanding it is one thing, making it work for you is much harder. That's more of a personalized, life-long pursuit.… (más)

Questions are the Answer has stuck with me, such that I find myself applying it every day. We tend to make statements. We do so because it’s human nature to share what we think. We do so because we’re expected to have answers. This book shows how asking the right question can be so much more powerful. Questions frame the problem. In a group setting, questions can also catalyze the whole team in a new and common direction. I wish I had encountered this book sooner in my role as a leader.

For a book on innovation, this is disappointingly unimaginative. My son is back in school, finishing a degree in operations management and this is one of two books assigned for a class this semester. The other is inGenius, which has its own flaws, but at least will have value for the students. As I read books like these when I can, I wanted to see what he'd be working with. Dyer, et al, have cobbled together a poor business book with worn tropes, academic tables, and all of the wrong examples - Bezos, Jobs, Larry Page, ... and far too much "What if Jobs hadn’t decided to drop in on the calligraphy classes when he had dropped out of college?", "What if so and so hadn't stopped to talk to ...?" The authors give too much credit to the wrong things - and gloss over the failures. Jobs' supposed innovation of OSX derived from his NeXT Computer days didn't mention that NeXT was a colossal failure (as was every Jobs attempt at a post-Macintosh computer; and credit where due, the consumer electronics direction was innovative.) Now, there are some good points made, but they are buried in repetition and take too much time to filter if this is the first book on the subject you read.

(Christensen gets a lot of love in the comments, but I've not been able to force myself through The Innovator's Dilemma despite multiple tries and a genuine interest in the subject. Maybe I'll try again...)

I don't think this is a good book for a class, despite its academic framing. I'm curious to see what is presented and what my son will get out of it.

Jumping off point: the authors mentioned Kaki King's guitar imagination and I checked out one of her TEDWomen "talks" here. That was something of value.
