That's a Great Question: Provocative Questions, Practical Results
Every great achievement starts with a question. If questions wield such enormous power, why do our peak question-asking years top out around age four? What are the contributing factors? More important, what steps can we take to re-learn and apply this valuable leadership skill? Whether you're an aspiring leader or a seasoned executive, this book will give you the confidence to embrace the counterintuitive when you overcome the urge to tell and instead ask a question, you put yourself in control by gently guiding the conversation. This book High-performing leaders create an environment where questions are welcomed because asking great questions changes conversations. And when you change the conversation, you can change a colleague's performance and an organization's culture.

The first look at the cover of this book left me eagerly itching to read more. I totally love everything about this book. I got most of the answers I’ve been searching for in this book.
This powerful self-motivating easy-to-read book by Dave Crenshaw by addresses the basic principles to apply when building a career or hoping to improve the standard of your life. I am really impressed with the amount of work Dave put in to bring all the simple points together into one book. This is one book I will be reading over and over for a long time.
I love the fact that the author used clear English and detailed examples to go through the important questions bothering on achieving career goals, personal goals, and organizational goals. One thing I like most about this book is how the Author went ahead to explain the key principles required when setting a goal – Focus, and specificity. While people like myself have a lot of set goals, we want to achieve them all at once thereby missing all the target. This book has helped me learn how to prioritize my goals and take them one step at a time.
This book is a very important piece to read. It has helped me to develop practical ideas on how to set short/long-term goals. The interesting fact I noticed in this book is that it comes with a worksheet where I can always follow along as I read the book.
This is one book I really enjoyed reading. The moment I picked up this book I got engrossed and couldn’t let go until I finished the last chapter. I learned a lot of valuable lessons from this nice piece.

More than 500 great questions top business leaders have asked in their organizations? How many ideas do I have after finishing this book by management consultant Greg Bustin? Too many too count! I can't wait to use some of these in my office. This book will be a great resource for me as I learn from leaders above me and as I learn to motivate my staff and team. Thanks Greg! http://www.bustin.com

This leadership book can benefit anyone - business, family, friends, churches and schools. The depth of the questions cause people to think and then the sharing begins. I highly recommend this book and plan to give it as a gift to those who, like me, enjoy learning more about what matters most to them and their businesses.
