Seven-step process
#reediol
• Open– “Who is involved in this?”
• Engaging– “What would it look/feel like to do this?”– “What will happen if things continue like this?”
• Challenging – “Could they do it in the past?”– “Does it matter to them?”– “Are they rewarded for poor performance?”– “Do they have all they need for the job?”
Types of question
#reediol
• Pain/Problem– “Is the team working well together?”– “Are you satisfied with ...?”
• Implication– “What effect does that have on output?”– “Could that lead to increased costs?”– “Will it slow down your proposed plans?”
• Need/Payoff Questions– “Why is it important to solve this problem?”– “What benefits do you see?”
