Questions can help you make better decisions, which explains why many disciplines train practitioners to ask questions; physicians, lawyers, journalists, psychologists, and countless others get formal training. But not managers.

Asking better questions is critical to make better decisions, yet the guidance to help managers ask better questions is limited, usually organized around asking open-ended questions and follow-up ones. We agree, but surely there’s something more practical!

Chances are, you’ve developed a mix of questions that help you make difficult decisions. But, how did you come to use the questions you use? And how do you know it is a good mix?

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
