Product Description We've all encountered the corporate inquisitor: the manager whose questions seem primarily intended to terrify the victim, not solve the problem. The goal of your questions ought to be to solve the problem and to build a more effective, collaborative organization in which everyone learns from experience, and nobody's too intimidated to tell the truth. To succeed on both points, you need to ask the right questions in the right ways. This book will teach you how to do precisely that.
