This guy is from India and is really witty and comes up with the most Bizarre issues to write about ,Ithought to share him with you.....David However, a beautiful question can be described in many ways. Here are a few ways to learn how to ask beautiful questions.
1. A beautiful question does not have any toxicity, cynicism or tricky content into it. It is a question that does not trap people or put them in an awkward position. A beautiful question can be a straightforward or direct question, but it is asked in a non-threatening or non-intimidating way.
2. A beautiful question does not hurt sentiments, make people defensive or point fingers at them in an accusatory manner. People make mistakes and will continue to do many mistakes in their lifetime. It is quite possible for someone to have completely goofed up on something, lost a major account or did something really stupid. Except in rare cases there will always be a valid reason for it.
3. Beautiful questions create pleasantness and collaboration. It removes fear and extracts right answers even if the answer is bad news. Successful managers know how to get the right answers from employees by not being intimidating in their approach. Their objective is to solve an issue or a problem, and not get a mischievous pleasure by making people uncomfortable. Beautiful questions help you achieve that.
4. Beautiful questions do not have a "Shoot the messenger" approach. If you develop the habit of asking beautiful questions people approach you openly for help and advise, instead of thinking, "Here comes the ogre to chew our head off."
5. People who know how to ask beautiful questions do not thump on tables, demand an explanation right away or try to find a scapegoat.
To summarize, the challenge for each one of us is to frequently pause and observe ourselves to see if we are asking the right questions. And we can conclude with a quote from Dorothy Nevill, “The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place, but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.”
