Our ability to question well is like a muscle. You must continually work it in order to strengthen it. Even if you feel that you already have a knack for questioning, there are many ways to improve. There are approaches to learn, from “speculative inquiry” to “appreciative inquiry,” which I’ll cover throughout the book. There are techniques for building a better question and for sharing it with others—including nuances involving tone and phrasing. And there are also ways to encourage others around you to question more (particularly important if you are, or aspire to be, a leader).
