Problem
I. Recall a time when you asked a question of someone with whom you were collaborating or who was reporting to you, that was meant to manipulate or ensure a specific answer. How could you haveposed the question to elicit a more meaningful response?
II. How can you encourage and promote more insightful questioning on your team?
III. Recall a particularly productive and informative meeting that you attended recently.
i. Why was this meeting productive and informative? How many attendees were present? Would the discussions have been facilitated if there were more or fewer attendees?
ii. Were there procedures that if they had been implemented, would have improved further the utility and benefits of this meeting?
IV. Recall a particularly nonproductive and uninformative meeting that you attended recently.
i. Why was this meeting neither productive nor informative? How many attendees were present? Would the discussions have been facilitated if there were more or fewer attendees?
ii. What changes should have been made to improve the usefulness of this meeting?
V. When a change in your team's outlook or performance is necessary, would you first expect change from your subordinates or would you assume that you must set a better example? How might you assess the best way to proceed?
