"The Harvard Business Review looked at 300 of the most creative, successful executives in business and found that they shared a number of tendencies and characteristics, but one stood out at the top of the list--they all were master questioners. It's not necessity, but a question--a "beautiful" question--that is the mother of invention. The world's leading innovators, inventors, business entrepreneurs, and creative minds, seem to be exceptionally good at asking questions. For some, their greatest successes--their breakthrough inventions, hot startup companies, the radical solutions they'd found to stubborn problems--could be traced to a "beautiful" question, or series of questions, they'd formulated and then answered. Innovator and writer Warren Berger, who's been asking questions his entire life, brilliantly captures these innovative query-makers to try and determine what makes a question particularly beautiful, from Tim Westegren wondering how to "map the DNA of music," a project that would grow into the wildly successful Pandora internet radio service, to Abby Brown, creating a school desk with a raised seat as she thought about how she could accommodate some fidgeting students. As A More Beautiful Question will illustrate, whether we're solving tough personal or professional problems, rejuvenating businesses, or schools, or government, or re-inventing the ways we live ... it all begins with asking the right questions"--… (más)

Хотя темы интересные, не покидает ощущение что автор журналист, который получает зарплату по 1000 знаков поэтому может расписывать то сё. Не понравилось так же начало (гл1 вопросы это силы ) - зато понравился конец (гл5 - личное использование). Хотя книга в начал бесила с каждой последующей главой становилась лучше и полезнее для меня.

Focusing more on getting back to our roots on asking questions than about a specific question, "A More Beautiful Question" focuses around how to return to place where we question the world around us. From an early age we're asking questions about everything around us, but somehow we stop doing that. I enjoyed the very "growth mindset" approach to questioning, but many of the examples given were more focused around innovating and entrepreneurship than more practical examples. ( )

Accessible, practical, thought provoking. It applies to both business and personal life. That, in my opinion, describes this book.

I have used questions as a primary tool for years in my consulting work. It consistently is effective in getting my clients to explore thoughts they might not and/or have not explored otherwise. As Berger says, people are too busy to give much thought, certainly much deeper thought, to important issues. They just want the quick answer. In fact, they don't really know how to formulate the right questions that might help them.

Recently I facilitated a retreat of three people who were having difficulty in their business partnership. The two-day agenda consisted of almost nothing but questions that challenged them to probe issues more deeply. When we began the process, the partnership was strained and in trouble. Two days later, though not yet healed, there was much better mutual understanding, appreciation, and commitment to continuing the process of using questions.

When I came across Berger's book, a few weeks later, he messages all resonated

One client said to me some time ago, "I've got you figured out. You don't have any answers. You just ask questions." "You're right!," I said. The meeting was a significant success.

Nevertheless, Berger's book brought me more perspectives and a reinforced appreciation for the questioning process. ( )

Kind of stunned at the "thought provoking" comments. What a revelation! Asking questions! How is inquisitiveness, or simple "I wonder..." thinking so surprising to so many reviewers? Berger put together a collection of anecdotes (from a lot of other anecdote sources), and gets some credit for that research. Bottom line, this is Gladwell level fluff. Maybe a touch better. Gladwell's a tool.

I started getting weekend read recommendations from Scribd, three per Saturday, and this was a recommendation. I expect some of the others to be better.

Nitpick: Berger said in relating one of the anecdotes something about an "ATM machine". Seriously? That's one of the most annoying multiple double redundancies and a journalist should know better. ( )

It took me a while to complete this book: despite it being relatively short and written in a very accessible style, it was dense with references and avenues for exploration, many of which I consulted as I read along.
Whereas questioning as a method may seem simplistic, it's an effective tool to look beyond accepted answers. While many of us do it instinctively, we tend to focus on the answers rather than on the quality of the question. Already I have started to apply this method at work and found it's given me new frameworks to work from, opening my curiosity and listening more carefully to what is being said around me.
I'm sure there's a lot more to be done in the strategic thinking realm, but this book is definitely an excellent first stop which will help to reframe and rethink the way we do business. ( )
